What about computer games such as age of empires ? Can we play regular computer games ?

I am in the current batch, and I had similar thoughts that author implied in the beginning - large number of Startups in batch , how remote would work , and how remote would affect fundraising .

I feel remote or some kind of hybrid is here to stay since it is better - work in your home country or hometown , no commute needed for office hours , exposure to more VCs via remote , and flexibility to move out of a session if it is not relevant or you are feeling sleepy.

The real downsides are below and our partners shared the same in beginning . 1. Less interactions with your batchmates and random chat on all kinds of topics 2. Exposure to the SF area that most international founders do not have 3. Parties at restaurants - not shared by partners

I love YC, so my opinion might be biased . YC is best and 10X better than anything I know or heard of.

Yes, a couple of Karbon founders are repeat founders.

3 founders are from India, and 3 are from China. It is not easy to launch a fintech product in China, but we would be able to overcome that since half the team is in China.

As of now, we can only offer our product to Indian companies. This is a regulatory requirement for corporate cards.

The most challenging part in the beginning is finding a good partner bank.

Once you found a banking partner, you need to win trust of your potential customers, as customers only want to work with trusted financial entities even when you are giving credit.

Once the above two issues are sorted, the compliance issues drown fintech startups. There is always something new one needs to do every month.

Hello Sagar,

Our cards work on AWS. On monthly basis, our cards process around Rs. 5 Crores worth of transactions on AWS. Plus, your company might qualify for flat 2% discount on your AWS bills.

There are other features as well that you would love when you switch to Karbon. Unlike other companies, we are focused on cards, and our cards are the best in the industry.

Send an email with your coordinates ( email and phone number ) to [email protected], and we can then share additional details with you.

My cofounder, Amit, came up with the name Karbon (Carbon)- the basic element of organic matter or life.

We give minimum of 0.5% cashback of prepaid cards, and one of our customers suggested us to donate that cashback to charities. I liked your idea of carbon offset credits. It is something we could consider doing in later stages of our company.

Hello Sudhir. We recently switched to VISA, and we are giving VISA cards to our new customers. Life is good !
