NYC YC W23 DeFi mobile wallet making yield investing accessible via account abstraction; $31.3M total ($25M Lowercarbon Series A May 2025 + 2024 seed) with auto-compounding positions competing with Coinbase Wallet for mainstream DeFi adoption.
Rainmaker is a New York City-based DeFi mobile wallet — backed by Y Combinator (W23) with $31.3 million in total funding including a $25 million Series A in May 2025 from Lowercarbon Capital and others, following a 2024 seed from Starship Ventures, Long Journey Ventures, and Day One Ventures — providing mainstream users with an account-abstraction-based mobile crypto wallet that reduces the complexity of DeFi investing to a few taps, enabling auto-compounding yield positions with performance fees (similar to Beefy.finance) and planning subscription services and integrated tax reporting. Founded in 2023 and backed by Y Combinator W23, Rainmaker targets the mass market of potential DeFi participants who are deterred by wallet complexity, gas fee management, and protocol interaction barriers.
TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) flagship off-price banner; parent reported $56.4B revenue FY2025 (+4%); 5,085 stores globally; treasure hunt retail model with constantly rotating merchandise mix and 131 new locations added in FY2025.
TJ Maxx is the flagship retail banner of TJX Companies, America's largest off-price retailer, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. The brand was built on the "treasure hunt" retail model: buying excess inventory, overruns, and closeouts from manufacturers and department stores at steep discounts, then passing those savings to shoppers in a constantly rotating merchandise mix. This opportunistic buying strategy — executed by one of retail's largest buying organizations — is the core competitive technology that competitors cannot easily replicate.\n\nTJ Maxx stores carry apparel, accessories, footwear, home goods, beauty, and giftware across thousands of locations in the US, with TJX's broader portfolio also including Marshalls, HomeGoods, HomeSense, and Sierra. The physical store experience — browsing through unpredictable inventory to find brand-name items at 20–60% below department store prices — creates the addictive treasure hunt dynamic that drives frequent repeat visits. This model has proven highly durable against e-commerce disruption, as the discovery experience does not translate well to online retail.\n\nTJX Companies generated $56.4B in revenue in FY2025, a 4% increase, operating over 5,085 stores globally with 131 net new locations added. The company's off-price model has thrived as value-conscious consumers trade down from department stores and as retail inventory gluts create buying opportunities. TJ Maxx remains the dominant brand within TJX's portfolio and a bellwether of the off-price retail sector's resilience across economic cycles.
