Excited to see @expereon_org launch at @Finovate!
Travel companies can sell a booking in seconds, but the money behind it still moves through a much slower and messier process. Suppliers get paid, buyers settle later, finance teams reconcile everything across different systems, and a lot of cash gets stuck in between.
Across the industry, more than $80B in working capital is tied up this way.
Expereon fixes that. It connects bookings, invoices and payments, automates reconciliation, and gives travel businesses access to financing against eligible receivables. It also supports 24/7 global settlement through stablecoin infrastructure, while clients can still operate through fiat accounts.
Expereon is already partnering with Superlogic, Bookit, TDS and ONE.

Although hit rate isn't an important metric in early-stage venture, 5 out of 9 @VarrockVC portfolio companies have surpassed $1M in annualized revenue (ARR, run rate, or cARR)!

Silicon Valley VC consensus groupthink is the stupidest it's ever been.
The alpha now is to invest in fundamentally good businesses. Not what fits the mold of what other VCs like so you can get a quick markup.
Example:
A @VarrockVC portco is growing revenue 25% MoM consistently while profitable with big TAM upside.
Yet it's only at a 6.75x multiple from last round price because the founder isn't well networked inside the SV VC bubble.

Excited to back Infinia!
We've spent the past 18 months studying LatAm fintech before making our first investment in this region. Ianai is the strongest founder we've met.
Stablecoins are a better way of doing virtual accounts and banking-as-a-service (BaaS). Their customers include Stripe, OpenFX, KAST, and Despegar.
And they aren't on X (bullish).

The pound sterling is the world's oldest currency still in use. It started around 775 AD, when a pound was literally 240 silver pennies weighed out by hand. GBPA is the same pound, minus the weighing. Some upgrades take a while.

Recently, the @UKHouseofLords Financial Services Regulation Committee released their report into Stablecoins. Agant is proud to have provided crucial evidence to ensure that the concerns of our industry are heard, and the positive aspects reinforced.
This report is a strong recognition of the potential of stablecoins within the UK, and it is very much welcomed by those of us building this future. Importantly, it takes a balanced view, acknowledging that like any emerging technology, stablecoins bring questions worth careful consideration, while making clear that proportionate regulation, not restriction, is the right response.
The Committee's conclusions are encouraging, explicitly welcoming the growth of a GBP stablecoin market. The report also recognises a number of the concerns raised by Agant, calling on the BoE and FCA to reconsider several proposals, including the k-factor capital requirement, unremunerated deposit rules, and universal redemption obligations that we believe are poorly calibrated for an early-stage market.
Credit to Agant's CLO Tom Rhodes for giving exemplary evidence both written and oral.

We are delighted to announce that Agant is partnering with @ClearJunction to support institutional access to GBPA, our pound sterling stablecoin.
Clear Junction Digital Limited, the Group’s FCA-registered cryptoasset business, will act as a distribution partner for GBPA, with Clear Junction Limited, the Group's payment solution provider and authorised electronic money institution, supporting the fiat GBP payment flows required for issuance and redemption.
This opens a clear route between fiat GBP and GBPA for institutional and business clients across payments, settlement, treasury, and other use cases.
