Excited to share how we at @Field_Ventures are thinking about the evolution of software markets with AI and the rise of Service-as-a-Software (especially in antiquated markets). If you're building in this space, would love to connect!

[This Week in Fintech @twifintech]

Nine to ten months building payments infrastructure. Not a single dollar moved.

“I have to build everything ground up on my own.”

@bykahlil, founder and CEO of @naturalpay, tells @Jillwillnyc why he invested in the foundations before processing payments.

What still needs to be built before AI agents can move money at scale? From identity to risk and controls, hear his take on TWIF Spotlight: Fintech X AI.

@Field_Ventures We believe there is A LOT more room for software to transform industrials. So we are very excited to be supporting @im_urav and the @ai_evos team as they help industrial businesses completely transform how they operate with AI agents executing entire workflows in industries plagued by inefficiencies, capital constraints and labor shortages

[urav @im_urav]

We raised $9M to grow the world's economy by unleashing and multiplying the expertise trapped in everyday businesses. Co-led by @Field_Ventures and @uncorkcap.

Before Evos, I sat down with 100+ business owners. In almost every one, the most important system in the building is a person who's been there 20 years. None of what they know is written down anywhere.

@ai_evos codifies the expertise of their very best people and delivers it on every job, every day, without changing how their business operates.

Starting with logistics, we're building the most experienced workforce in history.

Thank you @kerby @Jillwillnyc @thistrippjones @gabbycontro @CrosslinkCap, and to the @ai_evos team for making it real every day.

@edugiansante At most lol

Could I have called to make a dr appt myself?

Yes, but then I wouldn’t have wasted 2 weeks trying to get an AI agent to do it for me. (Still unclear if confirmed).

@jasonhenrichs 😂

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

Update: appt was booked but in the Bronx office.

Baby steps

What moved stablecoins from institutional scepticism to everyday business use?

“The technology matured to the point where we actually had product market fit for it.”

@jessepollak, Head of Base @coinbase, tells @Jillwillnyc why building the full stack of payments infrastructure took time, and how it changed the case for stablecoins in cross-border payments.

Their wider conversation on TWIF Spotlight’s Fintech X AI season covers tokenization, AI agents spending money and the protections agentic commerce still needs.

Listen in👇

We at @Field_Ventures are very excited to be backing Indemni and as they tackle fraud in the trucking space!

[JC Bahr-de Stefano @jbahrdestefano]

Even more fintech funding!

Indemni raised a $4M seed led by @Field_Ventures + Diagram

Indemni is building a driver-level verification platform for freight brokers, shippers, + 3PLs that checks the CDL, truck, + VIN at pickup to stop strategic cargo theft. Also live as a Lloyd's coverholder, so it can bundle strategic theft coverage w/ the verification

According to the founder, they have already protected $3.7B+ in high-value cargo across North America

[This Week in Fintech @twifintech]

Introducing TWIF Spotlight. One fintech topic each season, explored from multiple angles. First up: Fintech X AI.

What happens when AI agents start spending money?

“Agents, their native language is software.”

@jessepollak, creator of Base @coinbase, speaks with host @Jillwillnyc about why crypto wallets and stablecoins could become a natural payment rail for AI.

From micropayments to everyday purchases, they explore agentic commerce and what happens when an agent gets it wrong. Who authorises the payment, handles the refund and protects the customer?

Plus, institutional crypto adoption and how AI is changing the way Coinbase teams build.

@jbahrdestefano mileage resets but your body's exhaustion does not

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

@sairarahman Glad you all are okay!

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

instict made me agree to the risk that resy blocks my account for using it and door dash has blocked them.

Once AI assitants get good enough at calls we'll be going back to walk in only for reservations

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

@CharlieKroll had the same thought but Sopranos started in 1999 so dont think it counts

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

@NWischoff Great wine and great company!

We’re looking for the country’s best engineers and cyber operators to join us in support of this mission.

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

@anothercohen @JonnyNemo Same!

[Jillian Williams @Jillwillnyc]

for the 2nd time this week heard businesses mention that voice AI is effective but humans (employees) on the other side refuse to engage and hang up when they realize its AI (not bc of quality)
