Relay

48 hours. 30 teams. Endless innovation. ✨ Last month, we hit pause on our day jobs for the Relay Hackathon, a two-day sprint to answer one question: What could we build to help our customers win if nothing was off limits? From gamified banking experiences to AI-powered insights, our teams dreamed big and shipped fast to prototype new tools, redesign workflows, and explore bold ideas to make Relay more useful, intuitive, and fun. Some teams tackled internal pain points, like rethinking our sales demo UI or optimizing our sales processes. Others built forward-looking features for customers, like smarter AI insights, new integrations with platforms like Shopify and Amazon, and even a playful redesign that turns banking milestones into collectible rewards, Pokemon-style. Every idea started with a customer problem, and ended with a real, working solution. Want a deeper dive into what we built? Our blog post from our winning team is dropping soon, packed with insights and takeaways. Oh, and by the way we’re hiring! Want to help shape the future of fintech?

We’re still reminiscing on Toronto Tech Week—what an energizing experience! It was incredible to host three events at RelayHQ focused on how to build high performance teams, AI enablement in engineering, and AI in fintech. Our team loved connecting with so many passionate, driven people in the tech community, and this was a great reminder of the energy and innovation fueling this ecosystem. It was also an amazing opportunity for our teams to share more about Relay, the journey we’re on, and the exciting direction we’re headed. The enthusiasm and curiosity we received reinforced that we’re building something meaningful and that there’s excitement for the kind of impact we’re having on small businesses. We’re grateful for the new connections, conversations, and the momentum from outside and inside Relay. Sharing some photos that made this week special 🌟.

12 million businesses. $10 trillion in value. That’s what’s changing hands as baby boomer owners retire in record numbers. But when entrepreneurs acquire these businesses, the real handoff isn’t just customers or equipment — it’s a back office stuck in the past. Legacy banking. Messy books. No financial visibility. If you're navigating this now (or plan to), join us on June 27 for a panel built for exactly this moment. You’ll hear from business owners who’ve modernized the financial chaos they inherited — and an expert who helps entrepreneurs scale toward 7-figure exits. We’ll cover: ✔️ Post-acquisition clean-up strategies ✔️ Profit-boosting cash flow systems ✔️ How modern banking can increase exit value Register through the link in the comments! #enrepreneurthroughacquisition #boomerbusinesses #businessacquisition
