Here’s a good #fintech to watch:

Casca launched its $29M Series A today, including @CanapiVentures and @ycombinator to accelerate lending with responsible #AI.

@AlexH_Johnson I’m always looking to help clients and prospects make connections like this. Please let her know I’m interested in learning more!

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@dionlisle It is so bad! You should see what people get away with out here. It can be predatory.

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@AlexH_Johnson It amazes me that nobody is reporting on the actual fires...as if what happens in Canada stays in Canada.

@mikulaja Then you can use fintech to have a better dealership than the rest! There's always a play.

NEW: TikTok has stored the most sensitive financial information of its biggest stars — including those in the TikTok Creator Fund — on servers in China.

CEO Shou Chew recently told Congress “American data has always been stored in Virginia and Singapore.”https://t.co/etlt8BCEyF

@AlexH_Johnson Wow….all they needed to do is care a little.

This shows the limit to AI - we still need to be real with one another. Can it expedite some things? Sure, but use that to be even more real and caring.

One can wish…

So @TechCrunch is searching for 200 early-stage companies for Startup Battlefield at Disrupt this September. Comes with a chance to win a $100,000 in equity-free $$ and cool kid creds. Apply by May 31: https://t.co/mCqJpwDtPw

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@bayareawriter This is beautiful. Thank you for being so open.

We all have these times and shouldn't have to "put on a brave face" to be strong. Honesty and openness is strong - and it helps us all get a little bit better every day. It's a wonderful, messy journey.

@charlesepotts @psb_dc @MaryMWisniewski @tammybangs @CoastalBankWA @BankCcbx @PortX_inc @Finovate I fully endorse this message - this crew makes it happen!

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@Jake_Bouer Ha! That’s it, I’m getting some. DM me your addresses.

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

I don’t think the guy in front of me at the airport is going to the same #fintech conference I am….

See the rest of you at #fintechnexus soon.

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@MaryMWisniewski Nice! This is coming together…let’s start with the t-shirts and then plan the trip. It’s just like dressing for success, right? 😉

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

Fresno First Bank comments #FedNow will have a slow adoption - maybe slower than anticipated - but it will open up a ton of use cases and chip away at other networks.

There are big opportunities & it will bring new innovation. Bankers, be curious.

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@Jake_Bouer That is a GREAT idea. I’m all in. Sounds like @dionlisle will join us.

[Heather Sugg @HeatherSugg]

@dionlisle I was thinking the same - I need one! Maybe we’ll snag a few for the next show. ☺️

A @Visa collaboration with @PayPal, @WesternUnion and others tries to erase P2P payment friction.
