We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base). It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety". It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off. Here's what makes it so different: 1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents. 2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us. 3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice. ------------------------------ In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer. Today: - 3,000 businesses use @slashapp - We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M - $4B is spent on our credit cards every year And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures @NEA @ycombinator @goodwatercap -------------------------------- To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free. It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions. It saved us $39,000 last month. You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank. Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.

So cool, are you using ollama? Phi4? I've been working on similar concepts via open source tools that can aggregate / summarize discord, x, github, etc. Just published a blog post about it today, would love to have your thoughts! eliza.how/blog/taming_info

I am going to start speaking at events. I’ll do it for free for groups of CEOs, owners, founders, and entrepreneurs including those who aspire. Recently I attended an event with a paid speaker, former founder CEO, exit. He wrote a book (so have I), not only learned nothing, I couldn’t believe the nodding heads in the audience. No real actionable takeaways. I will blow this away. I’ve spoken in the past, but I realized I have a story - even validated here on X - that is real and helpful to everyone. There is no one formula, and people often get confused that there is. I ran it by a major CEO who asked me to speak at an event. There is no website to book or anything like that yet. I’m just now going to be active about being available and see where it takes us.

Havard university will now be free from this session. What it means is that Nigerians students can school in Harvard University for free if they get in. They will also pay your accommodation, living expenses, feeding etc. As a Nigerian students who wants to live your dream, work hard. Very very hard. Be exceptional in WAEC, SAT and build your portfolio. In 2 weeks time, I will get some Harvard and Cornel students to be on a webinar or twitter space to discuss on how Nigerian students can get in.

This spring I am teaching a new class at MIT called **How to AI (Almost) Anything** Its name is a play on 2 seminal @medialab courses: how to make almost anything (on design & fabrication) and how to grow almost anything (on synthetic biology) We are now in the AI age, and today's AI can be applied to almost anything - from language to vision, audio, sensors, medical data, music, art, smell, and taste. This course covers the principles of AI (focusing on deep learning and foundation models), how we can apply AI to novel real-world data modalities, and multimodal AI that can process many modalities at once, such as connecting language and multimedia, music and art, sensing and actuation, and more. Course website: mit-mi.github.io/how2ai-cour… All lectures, readings, and materials will be released publicly, so feel free to follow along!

"Building wealth for generations." Thank you for choosing @Risevest. If your money is not being managed by Risevest, you're missing out.
Only posting this because I genuinely love promoting other Nigerian startups we use that give us a lot of value. So we’ve been invested in @Risevest’s fixed income and Real estate plan since 2023 and my accountant just sent the report of our earnings and it’s so good. So good to the tune of $40k+ since that time. They’re definitely getting more money from us this year.

The fastest way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them.

Looking to create an audibook for The Software Engineer's Guidebook, with a professional narrator. I have a good budget, an idea of the narrator profile, and a script. Atrocious experience so far. The leading narrator finding site (Voices .com) rejected my posting (no reason).
