This hackathon, we gave out $20,000 and threw pies at the winners… 🥧 We just closed out B@BHacks — Berkeley’s best hackathon to date. Excited to have partnered with @liquidtrading @Ripple @SuiFoundation @CoinbaseDev @solana @Polymarket @ETHGlobal and @AnthropicAI. Checkout the recap video below 👇

Excited to announce @fliptexts’ $1.4M pre-seed, and that we’ve joined @a16z @speedrun! When @notolegv, @ajiang_xyz and I started building in January, we were stunned at how outdated money apps still are. So we built the finance-expert friend we always wished we had: one that fits you, earns its place, grows into the job, and lives just one text away. My financial life doesn’t look like anyone else’s. I’ve managed six figures for a school club, spent my formative years trading crypto, and I’m still too shy to ask my roommates to pay me back for WiFi. Flip starts by automating my monthly roommate bill, checking my wallets before I think to, nudging me to use my Dunkin credit before my Amex benefits expire, making sure my retirement accounts are stable, watching my cloud bills, scanning to see if my Netflix membership is *really* worth it, and finding discounts on late night food delivery. We're making sure that no matter what your goals are with money: saving more, or making more, Flip is there to help you achieve that. Couldn’t be more excited to build this with our partners @a16z @speedrun @andrewchen @emilybenn12 @tkexpress11 @samshank @ndrewlee @RKRigney @thehousefund @daveybloom @jfiance @pearvc @khalil_fuller @zfellows @cory
