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. We are growing insanely fast (37x since launching 3 months ago) and well-funded (seed round of $8M at $57M valuation pre-launch from Global Founders Capital and the founders of Dropbox, Doordash, Opendoor, Plaid, Mercury, Pilot, Plangrid). 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.
