Very excited about this

[Joshua Park @JoshuaIPark]

The most important material for building an AI-native company is the record. Conversation, email, Slack, customer signals, and more.

But you need an organized knowledge layer because you can't just dump thousands of raw sources into your loop.

All records should be summarized, linked to one another, updated as progress is made, and converted into agent-ready data types.

That's what @mem_base has automated for personal use with no setup, and we're bringing this to teams.

DM me if you want early access.

Mount (@mountinsure) secures and insures autonomous AI agents before they cause damage.

They secure the workflow, measure the remaining risk, and transfer that risk through insurance built specifically for it, so companies can use AI agents in more productive workflows without carrying the full risk alone.

Congrats on the launch, @johnbachm & @fabeamherd!

today we’re announcing grid global accounts, financial infrastructure built for platforms defining the next era of fintech.

fintech needs a new architecture. money is becoming global, instant, programmable, and increasingly operated by both humans and agents.

but platforms have been stuck between two bad options: rent the stack and give up economics, or become a bank and spend years stuck in bureaucracy before they process the first transaction.

that changes today.

grid global accounts gives platforms a full global account stack in one integration: global dollar accounts, native AI agent permissions, visa cards, instant offramps in 65+ markets, cross-chain interoperability, native Bitcoin, and much more.

@lightspark handles the complexity underneath. Platforms keep the brand, the customer relationship, and the economics.

Today, we're launching Cash App accounts for kids age 6-12. Parents manage the accounts. Kids get to learn about safety, start saving for goals, and design and use their own debit card.

Next generation banking never looked so good.

Proud of the team for this one.

People who say ‘out of pocket’ to mean anything other than ‘I paid for it myself’ should have their phones confiscated.

Words have meanings.

@mPinoe do you do Seattle School visits? My daughter loves you and keeps asking about school visits!

[Matt Day @mattmday]

Weird to pour one out for a trade show, but from this guy who (allegedly?) covered video games for a few years, no better way to get oriented in the business than spend a few days walking on unsettlingly plush carpets talking to folks and getting blasted by sound.

I'm so proud of the entire @monzo team - @TSMonzo, @skaladeen, @jonas and everyone else who worked so hard to make this happen.

Massive congratulations, folks 🎉

Excited to back @cheaperpayments led by @sophgoldb & @jt_cho. Existing payment rails aren't suited for high-frequency / low-value transactions ☕️. Ansa is building a closed-loop white label payments system so merchants can decrease costs + drive loyalty.
