Shariar Kabir

Yo, have you heard about Shariar Kabir? The dude’s the real deal in the startup world. He’s a YC W23 alum and co-founded Ruby Card, which is basically the bank for e-commerce folks. No bullshit, this guy and his team saw a huge gap in how online businesses handle their money, so they built something that actually makes sense for them.

Here’s the scoop – Shariar and his co-founders, Jordan and Miguel, they’ve all got serious engineering chops from Google, Salesforce, and Capital One. They weren’t just messing around; they’ve been deep in the trenches building e-comm stores themselves. So they know the grind firsthand. That’s what made them jump into this – they felt the pain, and they wanted to fix it.

Ruby Card launched in 2022, and it’s not just some generic neo-bank. It’s super tailored for e-com businesses – integrates with Shopify, Stripe, Amazon – all the stuff that online sellers use daily. It pulls all the financial and sales data into one dashboard, real-time analytics, total visibility. Basically, they built the bank that online businesses always needed but never had.

And get this – they got into YC, which is a big deal. That’s where the best startups go to level up. Their launch on YC’s platform was huge – it’s like a stamp of approval that they’re onto something legit. Now they’re based in NYC, and they’re crushing it.

What does this say about Shariar? I think it’s pretty clear – this guy’s all about solving real problems, not just chasing shiny objects. His whole process screams passion for startups, tech, and making lives easier for online sellers. He’s the type who jumps into problems headfirst, uses his engineering background to build stuff that actually works, and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.

Bottom line? Shariar’s not just another founder. He’s someone who’s been in the trenches, saw a gap nobody else did, and then built a killer solution from scratch. He’s got the hustle, the brains, and the vision. And honestly, he’s just getting started. Keep an eye on him – he’s the kind of person who’ll keep crushing it and changing the game.
