I are optimistic of the world that is going to emerge out of this chaos. A world that is more driven by #communities, than centralized institutions, and hope that @getxare plays a pivotal role in helping shape that future world- a fairer #financial world.
"We hope Xare plays a pivotal role in helping shape that world of future- a fairer, financial world, and a world which is more compassionate." @growwithrise co-founders @GuptaPadmini and @milindsingh on how they expect @getxare to grow: https://t.co/xBbXRj0RRk #fintech#startups
I’m excited to be part of the stellar lineup of speakers at Slush’D, scheduled for November 4th at the amazing @NYUAbuDhabi.
Looking forward to talking about #entrepreneurship and meeting #students looking to start their journey.
Was great to talk to @kavitath about the importance of digital money apps for teens and how @getxare is taking a different approach to help income earners manage their dependents. Thanks for having me on

I would add a third bucket to this - your finances are going in the reverse direction - also 3-4 years per year of early stage building.
You have to be a special kind of mad to undertake this time travel - it's incredible how people get seduced by startup mania around us 2/3
Building a startup is like being in a time machine
First, You are trying to convince people around you of a version of the future you are bringing to life
Secondly, You age physically and mentally much faster - I recon 3-4 years for every year of building in early stage
Great take by @mkhandel - at @getxare we are building a user generated finance platform - the why is obvious , the what (allowing anyone to be a card issuer) and how (a new tech stack to bring issuance to anyone, anywhere) are the really challenging part
Hot take: I’m more interested in the nitty gritty of the “what” and “how” for early stage fintechs. There are so many opportunities that the “why” is usually clear. Getting from 0 to 1 is usually what is really hard bc there’s a lot to build and the approach isn’t always obvious
Over the last three years, On Deck has helped founders start hundreds of companies that are collectively worth over $9 billion.
Today, we’re excited to showcase the top 100.

Did you know that the word banking comes from the Italian word “Banca”?
That means the bench across which people sat and transacted with other people they knew and trusted.
That’s the origin of banking.
And that’s what we are trying to reclaim with @getxare
Every now & again everyone needs a mental break from their work. Take time off to just relax and spend time with your family. Reconnect with friends, or go camping. Having a break from the same monotonous routine will let you stay refreshed and ready to take on life's challenges.
#Entrepreneurship is hard work. #Entrepreneurs are some of the most resilient people on this planet. Despite rejections, obstacles, & setbacks, entrepreneurs keep pushing forward. If you want to become an entrepreneur, you need to be prepared to persevere, persevere, & #persevere
We don't want to hear it, but everyone has been rejected in their life. Whether it be during a job interview, or when you ask someone out on a date, or when you ask for a raise at work...
Rejection is part of life.
What happens next? What if you're rejected & you don't give up?
Running a business can be a lot of work. When a #business starts to grow, more employees need to be hired, more clients need attention, and more systems need to be put in place.
When this happens, remember: your business will likely bounce back.

Innovation is what drives progress. But what is the real value of innovation? What does it mean for society?
Innovation is about saving time, being more efficient, and offering better products and services.
