we just got rejected from the YC F26 batch!
but when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. so here is my @ycombinator rejection x @treasury_sh launch video.
investments. multi-currency. and the most intelligent agent for personal finance.
let me know what you think :)

I’m sharing my @ycombinator W27 application publicly.
I committed to building in public. That doesn’t mean waiting for success, it means putting yourself out there, even when failures still on the table. Otherwise, I’d just be celebrating in public.
So here’s mine for @treasury_sh 🧵

i never understood why founders keep their @ycombinator application videos private.
if you're building a company, sharing your YC application video is a great way to get eyes on what you're building, get feedback and potential early users. you'll have to talk about your startup publicly one day anyway. might as well start now.
so here's mine for @treasury_sh

YC W27 deadline is coming up. comment what you’re building below. i’ll personally review your app, personally refer the top ones, and personally make sure this tweet does numbers. 💪🏽 p.s im not a yc founder lol
if i were a YC founder and my posts weren’t getting enough engagement, i’d simply tweet:
“YC W27 deadline is coming up. comment what you’re building below. i’ll personally review your app, personally refer the top ones, and personally make sure this tweet does numbers.”
anyway i made a mango-pistachio affogato in an @Apple cup today.
btw there’s absolutely nothing wrong with helping people hahahaha ifykyk

it's tempting to build complex features that make us sound impressive.
but one of the most used parts of treasury is just asking questions about your money.
so i made that a lot better. it now suggests questions based on your real numbers. simple change, but one real users appreciate a lot!
Say goodbye to generic suggestions. Personalized questions about your money, based on your real numbers.
Now in Treasury.

why give @ycombinator more than 7% of your startup?
I’ve spent a year bootstrapping @treasury_sh. It’s growing.
Here’s why I’m applying to YC W27.

I built 150+ calculator pages and tools for Treasury.
I turned the workflow into a free skill for your coding agent. Give it your product to research tool ideas, build the pages and check the SEO.

I 24x’d my Google traffic in 6 weeks. Here's how:
I built 150+ free calculator pages: a paycheck calculator, income tax calculator and tax brackets for every US state.
My site went from 780 Google impressions a day to 66,000 a day in 6 weeks.

i’m applying to @ycombinator W27. and i’m sharing the entire process in public.
two months ago, you saw the application, the interview, and the rejection. since then, @treasury_sh MRR has doubled. weekly active users are up 4x.
you watched me get rejected. stick around for what happens this time.

I left my dream job at $MSFT to build something of my own.
I’m Junead, and I’m building Treasury, a personal finance app. Solo. No VC funding.
I’m sharing the decisions, mistakes, and small wins along the way.
Building something, or figuring out your next chapter? Follow along.

it's been a long journey, but it's the best feeling in the world knowing real people use what I'm building.
Especially when I get that email or
DM from someone telling me how Treasury helped them get out of debt, or buy their first house.
still a long way to go, and so much i want to build. i'm going to keep making this better for you
We just hit 200 paying Treasury members! 🎉
It’s a small milestone, but it means a lot to us. Thank you to everyone who’s trusted us with their finances and helped shape Treasury into what it is today.
We’re just getting started ❤️
