{{First}} -- We pushed our beta LIVE exactly two weeks ago. It's a rush to be back in the game!
Play Money is Taylor-Swifting angel economy. We harness their capital, connections, and collective impact of communities to make them the most clutch investors on the cap table while allowing their members to build their dream startup portfolios for under an hour a week and $6500 a year.
October Highlights
Our beta went live two weeks earlier than planned to dovetail with two in-person events in NYC. And after a bunch of last minute unexpected snafus, investing with Plaid and Sydecar went live yesterday. We are officially MVPed!
We have nearly 100 folks in the beta; 1/3 of them are in our slack channel. And we have our first investment! 🤑
There are 2 weeks left for beta and 4 deals already live. FOMOing?Add your name to the list, and we'll send an invite code.

Launched on Play Money!
Up Next for November
Turning the learnings from beta into a Q1 launch plan: Over a dozen communities and angel groups are represented in our beta. We'll be doing 1:1 customer discovery calls with each to understand how to make Play Money their must-have platform.
Are we raising? The reception to Play Money has been off the charts. We are clearly on to something and want to start moving faster. I'll likely be spending the holidays prepping for a Q1 pre-seed. Ping me if you want to talk prior to that.
Gratitudes w/a Daily Dose of Deion
Big props to the Tablestake Crew and The Fourth Effect for giving us an inspiring in-person stage at your events. Jeanine Suah, for an amazing first experiment with more to come. Sydecar & Plaid, for getting on the phone across 3 continents to get money moving. Aaisha B. for working some bizdev magic on our behalf. Lily B., who found the first doozy of a bug. And Bruce H. for being the first investor on the platform! 🙌🏽 So Clutch and not the least bit surprising.
