It's time to get out of stealth 👋
Today, we are launching @monogram_ai and announcing our $40m seed round led by DST and Lux Capital.
Monogram is the first AI app that was built around a visual interface, from the ground up.
We created a technology that generates an entire user interface on the fly, in just a few seconds. Ask anything, and instead of staring at a wall of text, you get an interactive visual response.
@PABusTerminal any plans to fix the “42nd Street Ballroom” art installation soon? Our family walks through every week and we loved watching it so much. Such a bummer it’s been out for a few months now and not fixed!
Stablecoins are rewriting traditional systems of how money moves.
Financial and payments leaders came together last week for A Very Stable Conference (Season 2) to explore the growing role of stablecoins in real-world enterprise use.
We were proud to sponsor the 2-day event (alongside Refract Ventures), hosted by Lightspeed partner @arfrank with @kerrykellogg and @ay_o. A big thank you to the incredible speakers who shared their knowledge!
The conversation made one thing clear: stablecoins are rapidly moving from the edges of crypto into the core of global payments infrastructure. We’re excited to continue supporting the builders, operators, and investors pushing this ecosystem forward.
On 3/5 in SF @arfrank@kerrykellogg and I are running back Season 2 of A Very Stable Conference.
We're exploring some underexposed stories:
NETDollar, Stablecoin Cards, the Canton ecosystem, Banking in the crypto era, Sovereign Stables, & the consumer stables explosion
Stablecoins have their own center of gravity in crypto.

Stripe’s annual letter is out today, with a section dedicated to stablecoins.
Stablecoins are the next evolution of money - when we announced our acquisition, @patrickc said they're "room temperature superconductors for financial services". It's a perfect analogy. We've seen how this new platform can enable money to move and financial applications to be built with little/no friction.
If you have ideas or painpoints you think stablecoins could solve (or you just want to play around with our APIs), don’t hesitate to reach out to me, @Stablecoin or Stripe.
The letter also covers what we’re seeing in the AI economy, how vertical SaaS platforms drive economic growth, and much more. Link below.
You see a lot of things.
You hear a lot of things.
Some of it is good, some of it isn't.
Some of matters but most of it doesn't.
Sometimes you do things.
Sometimes you get a minute to yourself.
In those moments, what matters is that you keep shipping.
Keep shipping @arfrank.
@jordancooper Check out @aaltohomes Been spending time on that idea also. This is the most interesting one I’ve found so far. Not exactly what you’re talking about but directionally
