My family was on a group video celebrating my 92 yr old grandmother's second COVID vaccine shot. But it quickly turned to fear for her safety in public after an already isolated year+. It was heartbreaking and infuriating. We must #StopAsianHate and stand united against racism.

@victorcardenas @slashapp Who is your favorite investor 🫣?

[Kevin Bai @kevinbai0]

Five years ago, I dropped out of college to build a subscription splitting app. Fast forward to today, we're building the best-in-class banking platform for entrepreneurs, and we're just getting started. Over the next few months, our AI agent, twin, will enable our customers to accelerate in the way we have internally since the start of this year. The next five years of Slash will look radically different than the first, and I've never been more excited than now to build the future.

What a fun ride, and there is so much more to go. Still remember meeting @victorcardenas and @kevinbai0 while they were still in @ycombinator. I'm surprised that application got them into YC 😅. It was clear that there was something special about these founders then, and I've continued to be blown away by the relentlessness and drive of the team that they've built around them.

What @slashapp is showing here with Twin is just scratching the surface. Spending time with the team at their office is like seeing the future. The full scope of what Twin can do today is incredibly powerful, and it's at the heart of what equips this small and mighty team to ship with the quality and velocity that they deliver.

I get giddy thinking about more and more of the full Twin functionality being released to their customers over time.
