Why now
We've spent two decades building things most companies never get to build: a licensed, regulated position that lets us compete with banks. Proprietary infrastructure built the hard way, over years. Scale — 350,000 businesses trusting our platform. And something even more valuable: those customers that give us an enormous amount of signal about what they actually need, and serious pressure to keep improving.
At the same time, the market is moving faster than anything I've seen. AI is rewriting what's possible in finance, in real time, right now. I think there's a window to bring what we've built and what's happening in AI together, and build something genuinely new on top of it. Not a just a new feature. We want to be part of shaping what the future will look like.
Why we're doing it this way
Here's something I've learned the hard way: going from zero to one, in a market moving this fast and this competitive, takes relentless grinding. Real sacrifice — the kind most people, reasonably, aren't willing or able to make. Seven days a week, for a long stretch, going further than feels comfortable.
That's the bet we're making. We're putting real ownership, real budget, and the infrastructure and customers most startups spend years earning behind one founding team — and giving them a real, outsized upside if they pull it off: up to €50 million in Mollie equity. In exchange, they're taking on real risk: lower salary: there's not a lot of time to be spending it anyway, genuine personal dedication. If the team isn't performing, we'll replace it.
We are creating a setup that’s agile by design — the team will work in ring-fenced environment, which gives us room to take more risks and move faster. But it can still leverage what Mollie has built: scale, customers, (banking) infrastructure, etc.
FYI @MolliePayments is one of my favorite companies. For a big part, that's thanks to @frainpan !
It's an honor to do events alongside someone with such great energy & sharp advice for builders.⚡️⚡️ Now she took the time to advice me, on my new project: ginse! Super insightful, super grateful! Thank you Ksenia!

Still thinking about the Codex × Mollie Hackathon in Paris 🇫🇷
Here's a quick recap of a pretty special day.
Thanks to @OpenAIDevs, @borvibe & @frainpan for making it happen.
Credits to Saybe Studio for capturing it all.

Code is cheap now.
Maintenance is not. Complexity is not.
Knowledge is the real leverage.

We were proud to be part of it with two events focused on what we love most: building and shipping 🧵
