Helping small businesses success is at the core of what we do at Pipe. Now Pipe + Uber Eats is changing how restaurants access working capital.

The lunch rush waits for no one. That’s why restaurants can now access working capital from Pipe inside Uber Eats Manager. So you can keep serving, not waiting.

🎉Excited to announce our integration with Uber! Restaurants across the US can now access Pipe’s working capital directly in Uber Eats Manager. Faster funding. More growth. Less friction. pipe.com/resources/press-rel…

So here’s the takeaway: Optimism is the fuel. Fintech + AI = the ramps that turn it into action. Builders in finance, keep building. Builders on Main Street will keep growing. 11/12

At Pipe, we’re already deploying AI agents to speed up compliance reviews, help partners move capital faster, and make embedded finance more useful, timely & scalable 10/12

And the next evolution? AI. AI ramps can: ⚡️Cut days out of funding processes ⚡️ Help platforms re-engage customers before they churn ⚡️ Remove operational drag 9/12

When it was time to expand to a 2nd location, optimism met uncertainty. Thanks to embedded capital (right inside their platform), they got the funds to grow. That’s fintech as a ramp, not just a tool. Watch their story → youtu.be/TqnOrSGNiEQ? 8/12

Take Swella, a braid bar in Atlanta (and now Charlotte). They saw a gap in textured hair care in their community, and built a solution. With our partner at Boulevard, they got the tech to manage payments, scheduling & more. 7/12

Better tools = better spinning wheels. And fintech has a unique role to play here. 6/12

The real challenge? Turning optimism into measurable growth. That depends on whether they have the tools, resources, and support at the moment of need. That’s where technology comes in. 5/12

In short: They spin straw into gold. Every. Single. Day. 4/12

Entrepreneurs are wired differently. They see potential where others see risk. They move fast. And they literally turn everyday problems into value: Bad haircut → good one Beans + water → coffee magic Raw materials → finished products 3/12

The latest Small Business Optimism Index rose by +1.7 points. At the same time, the Uncertainty Index jumped +8 points. That’s optimism in spite of turbulence. And when you think about it, it makes sense... 2/12
