Keep three months of spend in operating and sweep the rest to reserve.
Pay out weekly instead of daily.
Connect the bank account we already have.

Under the hood

Systems: Treasury, Ledger
Nouns: Startup, Company, Transaction, Entry
Events: Startup.claimed, Transaction.reconciled
Stripe objects: Account, Person, Treasury Financial Account, Issuing Balance, Payout

Every Startup is one Stripe connected account. Its cash sits in four places: the payments balance, the card balance, the operating and reserve accounts, and your bank. Each move between them is a Transaction that Treasury reconciles to the Ledger within a day.
