Hi Seedradar Squad! The silicon monopoly is finally facing a public threat. Cerebras just filed to go public, betting their massive wafer-scale chips can crack the memory bottlenecks choking current models. Meanwhile, the human monopoly on code is fracturing as Factory locks down massive funding to let autonomous agents execute complex engineering workflows entirely on their own.

While physical networks scale, Slash is quietly gutting the corporate back-office, turning static legacy banking into an active intelligence command center. The market is aggressively trading thin wrappers for heavy infrastructure and hard execution.

Legacy banks are static nightmares. Slash, a Ribbit Capital-backed startup, is rewriting business banking by operating as a complete financial command center. The company uses native AI and virtual accounts to handle everything from global stablecoin payouts to real-time expense tracking, all in a single dashboard.

By solving back-office pains like fragmented spend and manual reconciliation, Slash takes the entire financial burden off a company's plate. Fresh off a $100M Series C at a $1.4B valuation, this allows operators to focus solely on scaling revenue, making Slash a startup worth watching very closely.
