Lili
Lili is a New York-based financial technology company that runs an all-in-one business banking platform for small businesses. It bundles a fee-free business checking account with built-in accounting, expense management, invoicing, automated tax savings and high-yield savings - collapsing tools that owners would otherwise stitch together. Founded in 2018 by Lilac Bar David and Liran Zelkha, Lili started serving freelancers and solopreneurs and has since repositioned toward growing, multi-employee small businesses. Banking services are provided through partner bank Sunrise Banks, N.A., Member FDIC.
