@tonychang430 Long walks are the way. But yeah I think about work during it 😂

@justineliaa After you’ve cried in the casino enough, you hit a point where there’s just you and the goal. Betrayal, setbacks, whatever, your reaction becomes a shrug and what’s next?

Counterintuitively, the best way to find an excellent co-founder is to just get started solo.

You will find a co-founder along the way or, even more likely, realize you are fine without one.

@ardent__dev Depends on the team’s skills and whether you can sell the outcome through services first

@zdogmode I take the break when the break takes itself. Prob not healthy

[Dipika Kumar @by_the_dip]

💯 It’s also a good way to audit the future of a fintech. I once spoke to a founder who dismissed my compliance questions and I immediately knew how it would end. I saw in the news that their company was getting acquired and thought there’s no way this goes through... The acquirer backed out and they shut down.

Do not purchase a licensing tool

In the age of AI, no company should pay a premium for checklists and form-filling. When companies ask us whether they can build this in-house, we tell them yes. This part, you can.

At @RegSurety, we're building licensing infrastructure backed by a team and advisors with experience across 150+ licensing approvals globally.

We're automating back-office workflows, monitoring regulatory requirements, and building one system to manage licensing operations globally.

@sytaylor I think I did pretty good. Where’s the score board 😆

[Dipika Kumar @by_the_dip]

Everyone can download a licensing checklist. It's free on the NMLS website.

Building API-driven software that compliance, licensing, legal, finance, and accounting teams will actually use is much harder.

"We were handed a checklist and told to go implement it." We hear this constantly from the teams doing the real licensing work. They own the obligation. They don't have the infrastructure.

@RegSurety was built by practitioners who've sat in those seats: licensing professionals, compliance leaders, attorneys, and CPAs.

We didn't build software to track requirements. We built it to operationalize them.

Companies don't need another spreadsheet or task tracker. They need infrastructure that helps them prepare reports, manage examinations, and stay ahead of regulatory obligations.

If you're a licensing operator, DM me. Let's compare notes.

@RegSurety If you’re drowning in filings, scrambling to close quarterly call reports, or tracking permissible investments in a spreadsheet - let’s talk.

[Dipika Kumar @by_the_dip]

License maintenance isn’t simply a compliance problem.

It’s a financial reporting and data problem.

Here’s what years of getting pulled into MTL maintenance at crypto MSBs taught me 🧵

[Dipika Kumar @by_the_dip]

That’s what we built @RegSurety on.

Not another compliance workflow tool, but CPA-grade infrastructure for licensing maintenance.

We map your data model to regulatory requirements and automate the reporting.

People are capable of far more than they think, on far shorter timelines. Problems expand to fill the time you give them.

@brian_armstrong Haven't read Atlas yet but definitely felt the same way about character types from Fountainhead
