It has been a while since we updated our friends and customers on our progress, but we’re happy to announce a few major highlights that have developed over the past months:

• We have refined our mission
• We’ve revamped our website to meet our renewed product proposition
• Welcome to our investors and partners, Gaingels and FoundersFactory

Our mission: enabling the next generation of entrepreneurs

First of all, we are very grateful for the feedback that we got from our friends, our communities, our first customers, investors and peers. We’ve been able to leap forward with our concept of a purpose-driven and empowering financial platform for founders and entrepreneurs who have been traditionally underrepresented, overlooked or underestimated.

Txeya’s mission hasn’t changed: We want to empower founders financially, and we want to enable businesses to see the value of social diversity in their teams. Because of our extensive team experience in banking and credit, this was the area that we looked at first.

To solve the issues underrepresented founders have when trying to access capital, we’ve worked on our first product proposition. We came up with a banking solution that opens up entrepreneurship to everybody, but especially to those who traditionally haven’t had the cultural, social or economic infrastructure to get ahead, namely women, LGBTQIA+ and minoritized BiPOC.

Txeya Card: Rewarding diversity with credit, cashback and community

When discussing the roadblocks that underrepresented founders meet on their journey, three points are often mentioned:

• They have less access to capital,
• they don’t have a community of peers,
• and they do not feel incentivized or in any way taken care of by their bank.

We know these problems. We’ve had them, too.

We want to be a financial partner for every founder who has been discriminated against systematically, and who is trying to break through the glass ceiling. We also want Txeya to become a place of fruitful exchange, of knowledge and education, and of empowerment. That’s why our first product – a business card with a credit line, generous cashback and an embedded community – is more than just a tool to make payments. Txeya Card is a financial companion that is at your side for every step of your journey.
