In Vegas for the annual payments pilgrimage at #Money2020. Give a shout if you’re here and want to talk payments & card infra (bonus points for stablecoins & agentic!)

I just sent a physical paper check to @IRSnews because their payment system is down. I’ve worked in digital payments for over 15 years and checks still aren’t dead yet.
Just what you love to see the day taxes are due. 🙃

So proud to see what @getVGS has grown into. Our early partnerships laid the groundwork for VGS' platform, which now powers 1/3 of all e-commerce transactions 🤯 plus some of the most interesting new use cases in agentic commerce. (link below)

Nothing quite like the "in memoriam" tribute of your college reunion to drive home how fragile & fleeting life is.

This ad made me anxious. Can I get the opposite of whatever this is?

Founders, evergreen advice: - do — references on your VCs - don’t — give VCs rights you’ll regret or don’t want to honor

They don’t actually hold any shares of OpenAI or Anthropic, and the price of the derivatives this ETF holds is calculated by the same counterparty that has to pay out returns… but other than that it’s great.
Today, we're giving investors access to Anthropic & OpenAI through $MN (a Corgi ETF). Historically, getting exposure to companies like these has largely been limited to private market investors. We built MN to help change that.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is a love letter to the city of San Francisco from Warren Hellman (co-founder of Matrix Partners) and family. Free to the public and no sponsors. Every year since 2001. It should inspire us all to consider what we can contribute to the fabric of SF.

If you are... * looking for a new (or backup) payment processor * exploring cash discounting (surcharges for cards) * looking to switch off Stripe I have a very cool "zero integration" payments company you should talk to. DMs open. 😎
