What you likely need

Anelya is a YC W23 co-founder with deep fintech and accounting expertise, currently building JustPaid at the seed stage with a small but active team. Her strongest near-term priorities are securing a seed or Series A round to accelerate growth and expanding her team beyond the current 8 employees. Her dual identity as a founder and fractional CFO/advisor gives her a unique positioning advantage in the B2B fintech space.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

  • fundraisingLeverage your YC W23 alumni network and YC's Demo Day connections to close a formal seed or Series A round — your AI revenue ops positioning is timely and fundable.
  • positioningDouble down on the 'AI-powered accounts receivable for B2B' narrative in all public-facing content, as this is a well-defined pain point with clear ROI that resonates with investors and buyers alike.
  • hiringWith only 8 employees, prioritize hiring a dedicated sales or growth lead so you can step back from sales duties and focus on product strategy as CPO.
  • introsTap your YC batch alumni and the YC Continuity fund for warm introductions to Series A investors who have backed fintech and AI-ops companies in prior cohorts.
  • tacticalPublish 2–3 detailed customer case studies from your 1,500+ VC-backed clients served through AG Accounting — this social proof directly validates JustPaid's target market fit.
  • positioningFormalize your angel investor and advisor identity with a public portfolio page or AngelList profile, as your finance background and YC credibility make you a compelling check-writer for early-stage fintech founders.
  • wellbeingContinue engaging with communities like Operators Guild and PEF Community — your own LinkedIn posts acknowledge the loneliness of the founder journey, and peer support is critical at this stage.
