Stitch raised a $25M Series A, led by @a16z, with continued backing from Arbor, COTU, Raed, and SVC. Grateful to our customers, who trust us with the systems that run their business. Financial institutions still run on infrastructure that should have been left behind 20 years

When client money is pooled into a single account, how many providers can reconcile every individual balance back to the bank statement at end of day without reaching for a spreadsheet?

Plenty of ledgers claim to be multi-currency because they can show a balance in three currencies. Far fewer can tell you the exact rate applied to each underlying transaction, which is the only part that matters when you reconcile.

A loan is only real to the borrower the moment the money lands. Most lenders can tell you their approval time to the second and have no idea how long disbursement actually takes.

Every wallet feels instant until a top-up fails halfway through. The card gets debited, the balance never moves, and someone in operations spends the afternoon working out where the money actually went.

A wallet top-up updates the balance instantly. The money behind it often settles days later, and the float in between is a risk most teams have never actually priced.

A wallet top-up shows up as available balance the moment the user taps confirm. The money behind it usually settles hours later, and that gap is always someone's risk to carry.

A wallet is only as instant as the rail funding it. Most of the friction users blame on the wallet is actually sitting in the top-up rail nobody owns.

Everyone wanted payments to settle in seconds. Almost no one rebuilt their fraud and reconciliation systems to run on the same clock.

How many platforms running pooled deposit accounts can reconcile the bank balance against their customer sub-ledger in real time, instead of waiting for an overnight batch to tell them?

Ledger integrity is something most teams only discover they lack the first time two systems disagree about the same balance and nobody can say which one is right.

Ledger integrity is easy to claim and hard to prove. Most teams only find out the difference the first time two systems report a different balance for the same account.

Everyone treats prepaid as the easy way into cards. The hard part is that the balance shown on the card and the money actually sitting in the pooled float account are tracked by two different systems that rarely agree in real time.
