and y’all need to STOP treating kalshi and polymarket as if they’re The News. they are BETTING platforms, and treating them as if they’re AP or reuters (who they steal their “reporting” from) lends them legitimacy that they did not earn and do not deserve.

Home is everything to us. Home ice included. Aven is proud to announce a multiyear agreement as the Official Home Equity Credit Card Partner of the San Jose Sharks through the 2028-29 season. Hockey is the fastest growing sport in America. Record participation, record viewership, and a wave of new fans who are here to stay. The Sharks have the best young player in the sport, an elite young core, and a window that is only starting to open. All of it is happening three miles from our headquarters, with the best years ahead. Look for the Aven mark on home helmets, on the ice and inside SAP Center starting this October. We back the future. #homeiceadvantage #turnitallteal

Genuinely the best thing that can happen to American soccer culture is to lean in to what makes us unique with our college football culture opposed to doing our version of European soccer culture College gameday style atmospheres is a great start

Cal fans will find out they’re down double digits in virtually every series in every sport to UCLA then start talking about Nobel Peace Prizes.

Credit card interest rates are way too high. What if you could create a credit card that had an interest rate below 10% to solve the problem. This is what @SadiSKhan and Aven have done. Fascinating business & discussion.

The system might be broken if even super prime and prime borrowers pay 20%+ interest rates for credit. @AvenCard CEO @SadiSKhan and @APompliano dig into why this happens and how people can fight back xitter.cf/APompliano/status/2059…

There’s a whole community of people who find peace in not understanding SF startup billboards…and I think that’s beautiful
I sometimes wonder what a non-tech person thinks when they see these billboards Do they even understand any of it
