Venn (venn.ca) is business banking built for Canada: CAD and USD accounts with CDIC protection, corporate cards, and low-cost foreign exchange. The company's site says it supports 10,000+ Canadian businesses. In February 2025, Venn announced a $21.5M CAD Series A led by Left Lane Capital and rebranded from Vault to Venn (BetaKit, Feb 26, 2025). StartupCookie produces founder LinkedIn content for co-founder Ahmed Shafik, video content for the Venn company page, and written customer case studies. Every deliverable in this case study is live, public, and linked.
The challenge
A rebrand resets recognition. In February 2025, Vault became Venn on the same day the company announced its Series A. That put Venn in a common but uncomfortable spot: a new name, a fresh round, and a product roadmap that needed the team's full attention.
What a Series A fintech needs in market at that moment is simple to state. It needs a founder voice that Canadian founders and finance leaders recognize. And it needs public proof that real customers run real money through the product. Venn brought in StartupCookie to build both while the team built product.
What we did
Founder LinkedIn for Ahmed Shafik
We produce LinkedIn content in Ahmed's voice. The flagship post opens with a question he hears constantly: "Everyone asks why I'm building in Canada". It makes the case for building the company at home, from the founder himself, not from a brand account.
Video content on the Venn company page
We produce short video content for Venn's LinkedIn company page. One example opens on a pain every operator knows: still waiting half the week for your bank. Video gives the brand a face between founder posts.
A written customer case study
We wrote "How Stan simplified global payments for its creator platform with Venn", published Nov 17, 2025 on venn.ca. It documents how Stan, a creator platform, uses Venn for global payments. Customer proof, in the customer's own context, on Venn's own domain.
