NEW Customer spotlight: Cardinal Robotics 🤖 For Anand V Lalwani, one simple question drives his mission as a co-founder: "How do we make the lives of these janitors a little bit better?" Previously having built and exited two successful startups, Anand was left wanting to pursue a venture that inspired him and had an impact. Things started to come into focus during the COVID-19 pandemic, when frontline workers, particularly janitorial staff, faced unprecedented challenges. For Anand, the chance to solve their pain points was exactly the inspiring, impactful opportunity he had been looking for all along.

🎉 We're hosting a breakfast next week to celebrate the opening of the Rho Lounge at WeWork SoHo! When: Tuesday, September 3rd from 9-11 AM ET Where: 524 Broadway Want to attend? Link to RSVP in the comments 👇

Founders, don't fall for this common mistake when building community👇 You're likely attending dozens of events in an effort to create genuine, long-lasting connections with peers. But after the hype of the event, are you actually following up with the interesting folks you met? If the answer is no, it's time for a strategy shift.

Tomorrow, we take our support of founders to the next level ❤️🗽 And we’re partnering with an NYC startup staple to make it happen. Announcement at 12 pm ET tomorrow. Don't miss it.

Founders, you deserve good customer support 🤝 For Phil Rosen, co-founder of Opening Bell Daily, the level of attention and care he receives from Rho's support team is a breath of fresh air. Having dealt with long hold times, lengthy email chains, and just a general lack of attentiveness with other business banking platforms, he was left searching for a better way. Thankfully, he found what he was looking for with Rho—and then some. "With Rho, the customer service has been so good and so fast, that it's one more thing I don't have to worry about."
