Tally raises $15M for app to make credit cards less expensive, easier to manage

I built the core financial engineering stack at Tally and absolutely love our product! The stuff I worked on was cool (lots of highly non convex optimizations, cool statistical methods, all Scala stack, very FP-oriented, etc.) but mainly the experience we deliver to consumers is incredibly powerful. The biggest challenge was probably getting this very complex, very real-time concept to work on an antiquated financial system. We're proud to say we have. Sign up now! You won't regret it!

Also, PM if interested in anything on the "Careers" page. What do you all think?

Cheers!

It's remarkably difficult to find your company page with a search engine. I tried "tally financial" and "tally credit card" as my search terms.

yea it's a busy term. we just came out of stealth so it will take us a little to climb up the search rankings. (part of the tradeoffs you are making when picking a company name.)

Was there any particular reason this name stood out for you guys even if you knew it was a busy term?

I even searched directly for Tally Technologies and some other Tally Technology name pops up.

How expensive it is for a company that just came out of stealth to increase the search rankings vs changing the name to something less crowded?

It's just an interesting problem since it seems more and more companies are using the same terms (or maybe meaningful company names are drying up?, like that South Park episode), instead of creating new nonsense names.

Maybe nonsense names are not as attractive to potential customers of a financial company?

Tally is the name of an established and popular accounting package in India - so this may be an uphill battle

Great, great idea

Scrolling skips on andriod. I'm not even sure of the cause.
