[Shehan @shehan_]

Proud to share that @StitchHQ has raised a $25M Series A, led by Andreessen Horowitz.. @a16z's first investment in the Middle East.

Banks around the world still run on fragmented, decades-old systems. Stitch is the operating system that fixes that.. giving financial institutions the modern foundation they need to build faster and finally adopt AI in a way that actually means something.

It is truly a privilege to lead and build the marketing function at Stitch from the ground up.. and it is moments like this that you work toward. Enjoyed bringing this production to life, with huge support from @MelanieGalangA1, @tdoggyholhol, and Andy... and a big shoutout to the Motion Islander team for the outstanding motion graphics. Couldn't have asked for a better team to make this happen with!!!

Stitch raised a $25M Series A, led by @a16z, with continued backing from Arbor, COTU, Raed, and SVC.

Grateful to our customers, who trust us with the systems that run their business.

Financial institutions still run on infrastructure that should have been left behind 20 years ago. Every other industry is being transformed by AI. Financial institutions are falling behind. Not because they don't want to. The infrastructure underneath won't let them.

@StitchHQ fixes that with a single operating system for financial institutions, unifying the ledgers, primitives, and workflows. One stack to build and run financial products on.

Thrilled to have @arampell, @jamdac, @dhaber, and the a16z team alongside us. And thanks to @ArborVentures1, @COTUVentures, @RaedVC, and @SVC_SA for the continued support.

there’s a reason you feel good every time you relieve yourself.. the body already knows what the mind resists. release.. let go. it’s the answer to most things..

[Shehan @shehan_]

aware + conscious

[Shehan @shehan_]

the need to always be doing something productive.. building, creating, moving forward … vs … an idle mind at rest with one’s own thoughts

[Shehan @shehan_]

background noise from a tv.. underrated

[Shehan @shehan_]

@MoOueida @a16z Ha.. and they said B2B is boring! 😜

Couldn't be more proud & truly enjoyed bringing this production to life. We're going from Riyadh.. to the world 🇸🇦 🌏

i’ve now seen both sides of the spectrum.. people who move here to dubai, can’t find work, and leave… and then people who move here, earn well, and still leave… conclusion: not everyone is built for Dubai

[Shehan @shehan_]

everything has a price .. question is whether ur paying it consciously or not ..

[Shehan @shehan_]

erp therapy doesn’t get nearly enough credit.

[Shehan @shehan_]

every broken system, every difficult person, every pattern you can’t explain.. trace it back far enough and you’ll find parenting. it all boils down to that. everything.

[Shehan @shehan_]

nobody does anything without an incentive... and sales lays this bare better than anything. the person signing off on a buying decision isn’t moved by your pitch, rather by what that decision does for their kpi. map the incentive structure first. everything else is noise.

[Shehan @shehan_]

the lens matters. two people can witness the exact same moment and walk away with entirely different conclusions.

[Shehan @shehan_]

you don’t think about your throat until tonsils take over. you don’t think about your ability to breathe until it’s blocked. and that’s exactly the problem.. we only recognise blessings at the point of losing them. a clear throat is nothing. until it’s everything. and that’s just one part of the body.. good health is the foundation everything else is built on. lose it, and nothing else matters.

[Shehan @shehan_]

@Rahim_mahtab Second to none. Haven’t come across a better yield since the time they introduced this a few years ago

[Shehan @shehan_]

being kept busy by your work is a privilege most people don’t recognise. stillness sounds peaceful.. until the mind starts filling the silence with everything you’ve been avoiding. keeping busy is a protection of sorts

[Shehan @shehan_]

once you watch someone you love take their last breath.. you are permanently split into two people. the one before it. and the one after. nothing closes that gap.

[Shehan @shehan_]

Notification grouping by app has to be one of the most underrated features on iOS. every layer of noise you cut.. is a layer closer to actual focus.

[Shehan @shehan_]

ocd gets framed as something to overcome. but watch what happens when someone with it turns it toward their professional life. system. structure, governance, precision.. things most people have to force. you just can’t turn off..

[Shehan @shehan_]

long gone are the days buffets had discipline. a quiet acknowledgment that others exist. now people just cut in, pile up, act like nobody else exists. if we can’t hold discipline at a buffet.. what does that say about everything else?

[Shehan @shehan_]

@baronwrldonsol Probably just full haha

[Shehan @shehan_]

unpopular food take.. if u can’t finish it, it’s not good food. it doesn’t matter how good the first bite was. something that turns u off 25% through.. failed.
