TooBig

Bailout-readiness as a service. We make your startup systemically important.

YCW23RescuedB2BFintechInfrastructure

Startups fail because nobody is obligated to save them. Banks figured this out decades ago: the goal isn't to be safe, it's to be load-bearing.

TooBig embeds your company into critical infrastructure until your failure becomes someone else's emergency. We'll route a municipal payroll through your API. We'll get a state pension fund into your Series B. We'll make sure that if you go down on a Friday, three hospitals can't run scheduling on Monday. Then we compute your Systemic Importance Score, and you take it to your next board meeting instead of a revenue chart.

No TooBig customer has ever failed. Three have been rescued. We ourselves have been rescued three times, which we consider the strongest possible proof that we use our own product.
