It's not clear who is going to build banking-as-a-service's version of Twilio. But what's quite possible is that whoever they are, their main customers won't be fintechs. Our report on BaaS and a thread 👇 sacra.com/research/banking-a…

We also talked about his views on @AngelList's roll-up vehicle product, allowing founders to bring in more high-quality angels and value-added investors with smaller checks into their round, as well as how this helps B2B companies with their GTM strategy. xitter.cf/sumukhsridhara/status/…

Companies that are dependent on building a community often use a RUV to allow key members and advisors to have skin in the game. This is becoming a core part of the GTM strategy for many startups xitter.cf/smalter/status/1410325…

One of the key themes we covered is Darian's high-conviction / high-velocity approach. He tries to get to a yes or no on new investments within 48 hours. How does he do this? Inbound interest for B2B companies helps filter many of these decisions.
