AI agents can now start real businesses.
@Meow lets your AI agent form a company, get an EIN, open a bank account, issue cards, and move money in a single prompt.
Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, and more.
The first end-to-end company builder for agents.
Last week, we celebrated our $30M+ Series B with customers, VCs, and friends.
It was the biggest event turnout we’ve ever had at @Meow.
A good deal is always cause to celebrate. Thank you to our customers who helped us get here.
Now, back to work.

In 2024, Meow's CEO said it held nearly $2 billion in customer assets with about 15 employees.
On October 15, it announced a $31.6 million Series B led by Stifel Financial. The company lets AI agents open business bank accounts, and Stifel plans to offer the platform to its own banking clients.
Meow was founded in New York in 2021 by Brandon Arvanaghi, the CEO, and Bryce Crawford, the CTO.
It sells business accounts to startups, funds, and crypto companies. There are no wire or ACH fees, and it offers corporate cards, treasury, invoicing, bookkeeping, and crypto rails for USDC, USDT, BTC, SOL, and ETH.
In April, Meow launched banking for AI agents. An agent runs one command to start the application and then continues in chat, and it works with Claude and ChatGPT. Once the account is open, agents can issue virtual and physical cards, send and receive payments, and handle invoicing. Meow's card pays 2.5% cashback on eligible AI spend.
Meow says it has billions of dollars in assets, billions in annualized payment volume, and millions in annualized profit. Arvanaghi says it runs over $5 billion a year in stablecoin volume.
The Stifel deal is the bigger change. Stifel will white-label Meow's full platform to its commercial banking clients, starting with venture and fund banking, with a launch expected in early 2027. The package covers onboarding, bill pay, expense management, invoicing, agentic compliance and back office, and stablecoins. Archetype also joined the round.
The round brings Meow's total funding to over $60 million, after a $5 million seed and a $22 million Series A in 2022 led by Tiger Global.

.@meow needs to be studied.
It's a business bank for startups. In 2023 it held more than $1B in assets with 15 people, founders included.
How it got there is the interesting part: a few calls that each looked like the smaller option at the time.
1. Give the money back.
In 2021 Meow paid companies a yield on their idle cash by lending it to crypto trading desks. In June 2022 the founders started returning client funds. FTX collapsed five months later.
2. Restart on something boring.
Meow rebuilt on T-bills, short-term US government debt, about as safe as cash gets. When SVB failed in March 2023, companies moved about $500M of deposits to Meow in less than a month.
3. Work with banks instead of fighting them.
This month Stifel, a listed US bank, led Meow's $31.6M Series B. From early 2027 Stifel Bank will offer Meow's product to its own clients, under the Stifel name.
4. Get ready for software that pays.
In April 2026 Meow opened its banking to AI agents, so an agent can use the account directly.
My read: Meow keeps choosing the option that looks smaller today and ends up stronger later.

congratulations to meow!
banks are increasingly relying on companies like meow for infra to offer next generation services to their clients
honored to be involved in your journey @brandon!
We’re pleased to announce @Meow has accepted a $31.6M Series B led by @Stifel with participation from @archetypevc. That brings our total funding to over $60M.
This is a strategic investment and a partnership. Stifel will offer a white-label version of Meow’s platform to its commercial banking clients, starting with venture and fund banking.
Game on.
Fintechs are becoming banks. They’re going after charters and showing up with better technology than the banks they compete against.
Banks can spend years trying to build that technology, or they can run on a platform that already wins.
Meow proves it. We compete for startups, the most competitive and demanding banking market in the world, and we go head to head on product. We have billions of assets on the platform, billions in annualized payment volume, and millions in annualized profits at scale and in the market every day.
Most software sold to banks has never had to win a customer on its own. Ours competes for the most demanding customers every day. It’s proven. That’s why Stifel entrusted Meow with this deal and opportunity.
Now, we’re launching the ability for banks to have the entire Meow platform under their own brand:
→ onboardings
→ bill pay
→ expense management
→ invoicing
→ agentic compliance and backoffice
→ stablecoins
→ everything else
And it never falls behind. Every feature our customers push us to build ships to our bank customers too.
We anticipate Stifel’s venture and fund banking clients get all of it starting early 2027.
Meow will allow every bank to be able to compete with the industry leading fintechs. This will change the game for banks and is only the beginning. Now, back to work.

Starting a company is trendy now. Sustained excellence isn't.
@brandon and @bryce_meow built and iterated through Covid, the 2022 fintech/crypto winter, and now AI, in one of the most competitive markets to boot.
Not attention/fundraising obsessed - just years of compounding.
Congrats to @Stifel + the team + all current/future @meow customers.
