Q&A with Andrew Rea
The following is an interview with Andrew Rea, a founder and former fintech growth leader. The conversation covers why he chose Meow for his company's cash after evaluating dozens of alternatives, and what his fintech background revealed about the competitive landscape. Andrew was not compensated for this interview.
The Decision
- Q: You posted a thread on X asking for the best option for your company's hard earned cash. It had 54 comments! Why did you decide on Meow?
- Founding team knew the space cold, was the most responsive/helpful, and had the simplest user experience of any of the choices we were evaluating. Earning interest for one singular account was also a big appeal. Simplifies my life as a founder.
The Experience
- Q: Since becoming a Meow customer, what have you noticed?
- The Meow team is one of the most responsive I've ever worked with. They respond fast. I never worry about having my cash parked with them because I know they've got my back and will act in our interests. Product is seamless and easy to use. Love being able to control our login with the IntraFi Network.
The Advice
- Q: There are so many business banking fintechs. What would you say to anyone making a similar decision?
- Banking and interest rates have become commoditized. You want to pick vendors that make your life simple, are in it for the long game, have a business model you understand, and frankly are going to go above and beyond for their customers. Meow checked all those boxes for us which is why we picked them over their competitors. Having all interest in one singular account plus having their team on call gave us confidence. Meow is simply easier to do business with than others on the market.
The Background
- Q: Tell us about your background, and why that helped you.
- I used to lead growth at a fintech company called Capital (fka Party Round). Capital originally built fundraising products and later combined those with banking including high yield products. Because of this, I know the space well, where the bodies are buried, the competitors, etc. Some of Meow's competitors tried to B.S. us with things we knew weren't true or did not make economic sense.
