Fin.com. $20M Raised. 7 M&A’s completed in 12 months. Investors include Expa, Coinbase Ventures, and Tenet Fund. 825 million users impacted. You have probably used us already. We help your favorite fintechs move money to the rest of the world.

Founders are happiest when they build stuff people use. Everything else is important but secondary. Including secondaries 😉

this is Apple-level hardware. this is Steve Jobs' intersection of technology and art. when i came to America in 2005, Tamagotchis were everywhere in my high school. everyone was trying to keep their pets alive on this little device. i’d also 100% wear a watch from Meta. finally the revenge of zuck vs. apple?

Mark has never looked happier. Give @alexandr_wang another $14B right now

Somewhere in DC, a guy under fluorescent lights is approving OCC charters like they’re PTO requests.

What a way to kick off my first live interview! 🎙️ Had an incredible time joining @RemyBlaireNews on Market Movers for @FINTECHTVglobal live from the @NYSE at the opening bell. Definitely a morning to remember!

Let me apply!

Instinct is for SF. Muse is for the world. I don’t think people understand the chokehold WhatsApp has on the rest of the planet. And I definitely don’t think they understand the run @alexandr_wang and @finkd are about to go on. Zuck has been treated like an afterthought in the AI conversation. Re: Alex, we were told that he sucked and that shouldn’t lead AI @ meta.

A week-long press tour is officially over. Press carries significantly more weight internationally than it does domestically, especially since we work with global banks, governments, and central banks. That being said, it’s time to get back to work.

Fin.com just closed a $20 million seed round led by Expa and Uber co-founder Garrett Camp. Co-Founders @Moneymamba and Mustafa Dar tell @RemyBlaireNews their goal is to become the banking industry's version of NVIDIA, the infrastructure other financial companies build on top of.

Joining @RemyBlaireNews this morning: - @Moneymamba & Mustafa Dar (Fin.com) - ⁠ Anthony Peculic (@marqeta) & @kkvanderleest (@BVNKFinance) - ⁠@WilliamEQuigley (@WAX_io) - ⁠Dr. Matt Kennedy (@IDAIRELAND) Live from the Big Board.

Love that @PeterRahal talks like a normal human. This is such a SF vs. outside SF thing. SF founders speak so fucking weird. Everything has to sound technical, intellectual, and they all act like its not about the money/competition. You ask a normal question and get a thesis wrapped in PR training. You can hear them editing themselves mid-sentence. Outside SF, founders talk like people. When they think something is bullshit, they call it bullshit.

Our launch last week was so much fun. 5m views!! I want to wrap up the week with a few thank yous. We had all our supporters on one Zoom during the launch, dialing the phones. It was so much support. 40+ people!! ➤ Our investors, from the biggest check to the smallest ➤ Our board members ➤ Our angel investors, even a saudi billionaire ➤ Our friends, including @mytechceoo and @spoiledeuro ➤ Our friends at Coinbase @Jenna_VR ➤ Our six offices around the world ➤ Our fintech friends @Zack_Shooter Special shoutout to our launch partners @atomikgrowth. They worked on it like it was their company. They’ve helped us build this business over the past 12 months, and hopefully will for many years to come. We’re so lucky. But those few launch hours felt like a recap of the last 12 months. Takes a village.

Love @FoundersPodcast! David, These are my notes from the @lulumeservey episode you did. It was especially timely since we just launched our company out of stealth this past week. I launched the company only a year ago: $20M raised 7 M&As completed Eight-figure ARR already No one has had a bigger impact on how I built this company than you. The greats study the greats. They always have. Thank you for orchestrating that.

Balance

Pre launch stress.

We are locked in and working on building the best stablecoin infra company in the world. This requires the best pizza.

Someone offered us $10 million for our domain. Only problem: I have it tattooed on my body.
