@_juliawang @naamanzhou @kattgillespie Ooohh +1 on this collab

A lot of people mention being a Founder/CEO is very lonely, but it really hits you when you're at a conference on your birthday missing friends & family, and you have a red eye in 12 hours. 🤙

Ya, but what about the systemic biases incumbent financial institutions have? I feel like not wanting customers based on those is not a good reason and that's for sure happening.

[Matt H 🇺🇦 @mdharrisnyc]

Biggest Fintech lesson I’ve learned in the last 5 years.

Incumbent financial institutions are slow, not stupid. If your main advantage is acquiring consumers banks don’t want, there’s probably a good reason they didn’t want them.

Your biz model should account for that reason.

This feels like a good tweet to welcome myself back to Twitter.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, if you invite me to a startup happy hour and it’s all white dudes, you’re obligated to pay for all of my drinks.

@jopanese I have a RadMission from @RadPowerBikes and I’m a big fan. I don’t have a car in Cle and ride that pretty much everywhere. It’s on the more affordable side and gets great range. Also, happy to lend it for a test ride in cle!
