I dug into the Chicago tech scene going back ~50 years. How many successful tech companies were founded here? Who is behind them? How much value have they generated? I struggled to find good data, so I did some research...

🚀 Mesh × Visa. 175 MILLION merchants. One giant leap for the future of money!

Six years ago, I started Mesh with a simple belief: Money should move freely. Anywhere. Anytime.

Today, we’re turning that vision into reality.

Through our groundbreaking partnership with Visa, crypto and stablecoin balances can now become spendable at 175 million merchants worldwide.

No separate card. No cash-out. Just tap and pay.

This isn’t just crypto going mainstream. It’s blockchain and tokenization going mainstream! 🌎

Six years in the making. And this is just the end of the beginning. 🚀

🎤 Unveiling it LIVE on the main stage at Money20/20 today at 10:40am PST!

My most active group chat by a mile is the @btv_vc WhatsApp w/ @iamjakestream, @pitdesi + @nbobba 😅

For the last 12-18 months it's been one long debate about the state of VC, the pre-seed + seed market, and what we should do about it

Sharing some of our thoughts below!

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

Pete Alonso met up post game with Mike, Nick & Chris - the trio of Mets fans who caught his 300th career home run.

They exchanged the ball for signed baseballs, bats and Alonso to sign their jerseys.

Pete brought beers and offered the trio tickets to games in Baltimore
