MANCHESTER, NH / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2024 / York IE, a technology advisory and venture capital firm, announced today Win Rate as the newest member of the Labs program.

York IE provides hands-on, technology-based support to Winrate in the areas of product strategy and development, messaging and website development, and corporate finance and strategy through its advisory practice. JP Morgan’s Startup Banking business, which works closely with York IE and several Labs members, provides Winrate with treasury services, payments and settlement solutions, and access to insights and technology bankers.

Winrate, the first native customer communication platform powered by Slack, will enable sellers and buyers to collaborate and share information across the customer lifecycle in a more scalable and streamlined way.

“The best way to help sellers improve their win rates is to meet them where they are, and that’s in Slack,” said Steve Travaglini, founder and CEO of Winrate. “This is a huge opportunity—one I’m excited to leverage with JP Morgan and York IE.”

Bringing the Founder’s Vision to Life

As a non-technical founder, Travaglini relies on York IE’s proven operational expertise to operate as an extension of Winrate. He was previously chief revenue officer at contract management software provider LinkSquares, where he led the company to $50 million in annual recurring revenue.

“Founder-market fit is one of the most important things we look for in startups, and Winrate has it in spades,” said Kyle York, co-founder and CEO of York IE. “Steve’s sales background makes him the perfect person to solve problems on both the seller and buyer sides.”

Early-stage founder support boosts startup ecosystem

York IE Labs helps select early-stage startups to establish themselves, create valuable technology products, and build successful, sustainable businesses. Unlike traditional incubators and accelerators, York IE works with its Labs companies throughout their lifecycle, providing ongoing support as they strive to create generational impact.

York IE Labs works closely with JP Morgan’s Startup Banking team, which consists of seasoned banking professionals, as well as former founders, investors, and startup mentors who understand the needs of Pre-Seed and Seed-stage companies in the innovation economy. JP Morgan offers early-stage founders a simple and seamless banking experience and connections inside and outside the company to help them grow their networks and scale their businesses.

Shift Group, Quebic, SchoolBI and ProxyIQ are also members of York IE Labs. Previous member 4AM Demand was acquired by Xfactor.io, which remains a client of York IE consulting services.
