Controller

About Us

We empower growing businesses by making access to capital easy.

The inspiration for Slope came from Lawrence’s parents having spent the past three decades in the wholesale business, importing products and selling them to small businesses across Brazil. From having worked with them, we realized small mom-and-pop stores are limited by their working capital and that business loans are complicated to navigate.

At Slope (YC S21), we are building Buy Now, Pay Later for B2B businesses. We enable any business to pay with installments at checkout. Buy Now, Pay Later is the foundation to rebuilding the messy cross-border B2B payments infrastructure — our vision is to be Stripe for global B2B.

In a span of 7 months, we went from pre-product to processing over millions in monthly transaction volume and raising $29M in funding to date from Union Square Ventures, Monashees, Tiger Global, Global Founders Capital, founders of Dropbox, Doordash, Opendoor, Plaid, and executives from Brex, Faire, Affirm, and Adyen.

✨ Why work with us?

• You will get the chance to be an early team member at a fast-growth YC startup. We truly believe that in “slope” — not where you start but how fast we are growing and iterating.
• We are growing insanely fast (growing 121% each month for the past 6 months, with signed contracts to 20X, and a growing waitlist that’s dwarfing our ability to keep up). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join our rocketship at an inflection point!
• We’re a tight-knit, intense team, where you'll learn a ton and have ownership.
• Help small underdog business owners thrive and compete against large corporations.
