Joust Moves To Austin

Joust, a fintech startup that offers up tools to help freelancers and gig-workers manage their finances and payments, has moved to Austin, the company said this week. The startup said it moved from Denver to Austin at the end of summer. The company--backed by $2.6M in seed funding--said it has already added a number of new employees to its team, and has an "ambitious roadmap" going forward. The startup offers up an FDIC insured bank account and a service which provides same-day funding for invoices, and also offers a merchant account and other tools to collect payments. The company's co-founder and CEO is Lamine Zarrad.
