The bond funds offered in existing startup treasury products aren't suited for startups' long-term cash reserves. They either offer low-yield money market funds, or bond funds that aren't well suited for capital preservation on the order of months the way startups operate (see here for an example of VFSTX, the fund offered by one of the leading startup treasury products today: https://totalrealreturns.com/n/USDOLLAR,VFSTX?start=2021-01-...)

Our goal is to make sophisticated treasury management easy for startups. With Palus, they don't need to manage a brokerage account, or handle treasury ladders, or anything like that.
