       | using, has shut down and I don't want to learn how to replace it

       | Sure you can roll your own and if you've done this in the past
       | and are both opinionated and experienced you can re-use your
       | know-how and you'll be fine. Everyone else is probably better off
       | with sensible defaults and a platform that takes care of the
       | details for you.

       | * Incorporate with Stripe Atlas (just did it for the 2nd time and
       | it was even smoother then the first)
       | 
       | * Mercury bank is incredible, I'm sure Blue Ridge would be a step
       | down.
       | 
       | * Carta for equity
       | 
       | * Fundraising would be interesting, but PartyRound seems to be
       | moving fast here.

       | can't imagine how this would be better than using the best of
       | breed for each part of banking, cap table management, legal, etc.

         | Frankly I've been surprised for a few years that they hadn't
         | launched a Carta competitor.

       | What the heck? It's a massive industry and legalized gambling is
       | growing massively.
       | 
       | So disappointing.
