Huge congratulations to @affinitifinance, a @GilgameshVC portfolio company, for their $62M of equity and debt financing! @aaronbaii, @sahilkphadnis, and the team have built the financial operating system for the 33 million SMBs operating in “boring,” backbone industries of…

To Affiniti and beyond

Sahil and I found our first company in our UC Berkeley dorm. It didn’t work. We quickly learned that building “cool” products didn’t mean building a great business with a great impact. So we spent years working on the complete opposite of what we first teamed up to create.

For this very special episode, I sat down with the legendary Howard Morgan (@HLMorgan), Chair and General Partner at @BCapitalGroup and also co-founder of Renaissance Technologies and @firstround Capital. We recorded live on stage at @ThinkRiseGlobal in NYC for the 2024…


Great Advice

I think it’s fine as a founder to meet investors when you aren’t fundraising, but one piece of advice I got that helped me a lot when I was running Lattice: if you’re truly not fundraising, don't talk about your numbers. I would open up the meeting saying something like “hey…

Unless you are totally crushing it, Investors that do not get monthly updates rarely write a second check.

Consistency always pays

Today everyone has a podcast. Fun fact: 90% of new podcasts will not make it to episode 10. Only 2% of the remaining 10% will make it to episode 50. This is a game of who can survive the longest. You just have to grind.

One of my favorite interviews — no podcast is complete without a reference to Ja Rule! Thanks for having me on your podcast, I had a ton of fun

When I moved to SF, most founders wouldn’t give me a shot b/c they said I was a “big company guy” who didn’t have “startup experience.” @RSerna2010 was the 1st person who didn’t care about any of that and focused on what I could bring to the team. Will never forget that.

In this @Fintech_Leaders episode, I travel to SF for a podcast with @RSerna2010, CEO & Co-Founder of @finix, a US full-stack payment processor and infrastructure provider that processes billions of dollars a year for software platforms, marketplaces, retail, and e-commerce…
