Kintsugi’s Post

When I joined Kintsugi, we just raised our Pre-Seed. Just six months later, we are announcing our $6M Series A at a $40M valuation on Forbes. It has been both a sprint AND a marathon, but we are #JustGettingStarted. To my network, it doesn't matter if the last time we spoke was in undergrad! I'd love to catch up and maybe we can see how Kintsugi can put your sales tax on autopilot.

Liquidity has become scarce—due not only to a dearth of IPOs but lackluster M&A as well.
