Can’t wait for a full day of brilliant minds, bold ideas, and off-the-record conversations (Chatham House rules in full effect).

Huge thanks to @StellarOrg for bringing together such an impressive group of builders and thinkers.

Last night, we had an amazing group of fintech investors in SF! At @CollideCapital, we’re excited about what’s happening in the city and believe now is the time to build strong relationships—the key to finding the next great companies.

Huge thanks to Adrian Hunter, @Marcosf0401 from @FiatVen, and Mark diTargiani from @BancOfCal for helping bring this together—the first of many, no doubt!

The shift brings competition but also opportunities for fintechs. Pressure to innovate will rise, but wider market adoption could accelerate. Fintechs must double down on UX, flexibility, and tech to stay ahead.

Major banks are entering the growing BNPL market to compete with fintech startups. JPMorgan has partnered with @Klarna to offer installment loans to its business clients. Citigroup offers deferred payment loans through Citi Pay and Apple Pay, signing up 195 US merchants.

[Marcos Fernandez @Marcosf0401]

According to a recent @FinancialTimes article, among major banks, Citi is directly competing with fintechs by offering pay-over-time options to its customers and originating new installment loans for clients without existing accounts, including those without any bank account.

[Marcos Fernandez @Marcosf0401]

My takeaway: The best investors don’t just have capital. They have GP market fit – deep expertise, early access, and the ability to place the right bets before the rest of the market catches up.

@perplexity_ai is launching a $50M AI fund 🤖

I’m confident many more AI companies will follow-suit!

The real power in AI isn’t in the labs—it’s in the builders.

[Marcos Fernandez @Marcosf0401]

Perplexity knows this game. They have GP market fit – they see what’s coming before anyone else and they’re moving fast to own the upside. More investors should be doing the same.
