We're thrilled to welcome @arjundundoo to FirstMark as our newest Investor focused on the consumer tech landscape!

Prior to joining us, Arjun was at Bird (NYSE: BRDS), where he helped lead M&A and capital markets.

FirstMark has a long history in consumer (Pinterest, Airbnb, DraftKings, Ro, Function Health, Discord, etc.), so we couldn't be more excited to have Arjun joining the team, as we double down on backing and supporting the next generation of iconic consumer businesses.

Please join us in giving him a warm welcome 🚀

The biggest winner of the neobank takeover is @raincards.

From $100 in processed volume in April 2023 to $300,000,000 in April 2026.

One of the biggest & underrated growth stories in crypto.

Public blockchains are great for auditability but different use cases need different levels of confidentiality. Now Rain customers have a choice.

Today we're announcing our integration with @payy_link bringing configurable on-chain privacy to Rain's stablecoin card programs.

Payy Network uses ZK cryptography to keep transaction details private by default, with selective disclosure for compliance and transaction monitoring.

@sidgandhi_xyz @calummoore and the @payy_link team were early Rain customers and proved out the tech and demand themselves. Now we're making it available to everyone else.

[Payy @payy_link]

Build on Payy Network with @privy

→ Embedded wallets out of the box
→ Auth, sign, and send stablecoins natively
→ EVM-compatible, minimal config

Private transactions chain meets 🤝 seamless onboarding.

[Sid Gandhi (Payy) @sidgandhi_xyz]

Last year we proved onchain privacy can work for 80K KYC’d users with the Payy Visa Card.

Now for the first time we’re bringing that capability to EVERY Rain card program.

That’s millions of cards and billions of dollars in real world stablecoin spending.

Incredible push by both teams on this and we couldn’t be more excited.

[Adam Nelson @adamn]

Love seeing these two awesome @FirstMark co’s come together t bring the promise of stablecoins to the institutional use cases that make up the meat of the market. Just the beginning cc: @sidgandhi_xyz @calummoore @rooqster @cnaut
