The real question is what payment providers handle ACH well for a reasonable price. Say lots of $500 invoices. Underlying costs on the ACH platform is pretty low. Would love to find a $3 capped provider. Intuit is uncapped, so a $10,000 payment costs $100 per payment on their platform. Ouch!

For ACH I previously used Vantiv (now part of worldpay iirc) I remembered they had good service and price.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Of course, but a small portion of the employees, disproportionately concentrated at startups, are willing to take a bet on an eventual exit. They accept a 90+% chance of a company going belly up and a 7-digit payday if it becomes a roaring success. But without an IPO it becomes a chance for a small royalty payment, and this is a lot less attractive success.

I agree, these folks will have to make do without these previous opportunities existing or exit the industry if that is not palatable. Lottery tickets drying up.
