We had $0 in our bank account. No connections. No experience. No idea what we were doing. But within 5 years, our company got bought for $200M. Here's the EXACT blueprint we used that gave us a 9-figure payday (it's so simple, you'll laugh): 🧵

talked to a YC founder who asked Sam Altman straight up "will OpenAI compete in my space / kill my startup"⁣ ⁣ the answer: behavioral health requires knowing if users are actually improving. OpenAI doesn't have that data, the wrapper startups do. v bullish for consumer AI

Beam has been acquired by @ModernTreasury When I left Visa to start Beam, I began with the simple belief that money shouldn’t take days to move in a world where data moves in milliseconds. To me, stablecoins and real-time payment systems weren’t competing ideologies. They were complementary tools waiting to be stitched together. Over the past several months, I’ve gotten to know @mattgmarcus, @dadiomov, Sam and the Modern Treasury team. From our very first conversation, it was clear that we have similar visions for the future of money movement. Money should move at the speed of the internet, with currencies, rails, pre-funding, and everything in between, completely abstracted to the end-user. I’m incredibly excited to continue building on the foundation we’ve laid at Beam, now with the firepower of the MT team beside us. With more resources in our arsenal, we can accelerate a future where stablecoins and tokenization play a generationally transformative role and instant payment systems proliferate globally. In the near term, Beam will continue operating as-is, focused on what we do best: connecting stablecoins to RTP systems and orchestrating settlement across rails in real time. Soon enough, you’ll start seeing that infrastructure embedded directly into Modern Treasury, with some tremendous new products coming that will simplify money movement like never before. To the Beam team - past and present - thank you. To our customers and investors, your belief carried us further than most people will ever understand. More to come

Beam has been acquired by @ModernTreasury! When we started Beam, we set out to combine the speed and programmability of stablecoins with the familiarity and  of traditional bank infrastructure. We believed, and still believe, that the future of payments is about making the best of instant fiat rails and stablecoin rails interoperable so people never have to think twice about how money moves. Modern Treasury shares that same conviction. For years, they’ve been building the operating layer for money movement. Their system abstracts away bank processes, normalizes payment types, and gives companies real-time control over their treasury. They’ve powered hundreds of billions in payments across ACH, wires, RTP, and beyond. Together, we saw an even bigger opportunity: build the first unified global operating system that spans both traditional and stablecoin settlement rails. With stablecoins crossing into regulatory clarity and financial institutions modernizing faster than ever, the market is demanding a platform that can speak both languages from day one. Banks want to future-proof their platforms. Fortune 500 companies want more flexible treasury operations. Global teams want to operate across currencies, regions, and payment systems through one API. Demand is rising from every direction as individuals and businesses move toward a world where money behaves like software. By joining forces, we’re accelerating that vision. Beam’s stablecoin & fiat orchestration infrastructure capabilities will be woven directly into Modern Treasury’s platform to unlock instant payins & payouts, FX efficiency, and next generation  liquidity management, all within a trusted enterprise-grade system. Whether a company is moving money via ACH,RTP, USDC,or their own stablecoin , the experience will be identical: fast, compliant, automated, and invisible. As part of Modern Treasury, Beam will continue to operate as its own platform and product line in the near term before fully integrating with Modern Treasury. Customers can expect full continuity of service with even more capabilities coming online as our systems begin to merge. To our customers and partners: thank you for betting on us early. You pushed us hard, trusted us with your customer’s money, and helped us prove that stablecoin-based payment infrastructure will drive the next era of money movement. We can’t wait to share more updates as we build a single financial fabric where rails, currencies, and counterparties operate as one.

👋 Personal update: Just moved to SF after a 15+ years in Europe. A few thoughts: - Remote is dead. Location matters more than anything, again. Being able to meet founders IRL is the core of the art of pre-seed, when most decisions run on intuition. The SF re-migration is real - plus many EU/NYC founders are spending at least a week fundraising in the Bay. - Culture is upstream of everything. SF might be the only place in the world where builders have more status than commentators. As Peter Thiel famously said, Berlin is the place where people move to retire in their 20s. SF is where the most ambitious move to reinvent themselves and (maybe) the world. - Frontiers are expanding. The commoditization that happened to bits is happening to atoms and cells. Biotech, robotics, and hardware are entering their consumer moments - and most teams taking on these impossible challenges are in the Bay. - SF is boring. As a Parisian, I'm dying inside when someone offer to meet for dinner at 6PM. I was actually supposed to move to my fav city in the world, NYC. But as a 1st time GP with @intuitionvc - I have only one shot at this and decided to optimise for quality of obsession, and not quality of life. I don't usually ask for many things, but I feel this is one of the most cornerstone moment of my life. Here's how you can help: 1) Intros to founders building at the frontiers of consumer - I want to be the only culture-first VC in technical cap tables. 2) Flat recommendations as @Clara_Gold and I are starting a war to find 1/2BR (I know) in town, ideally a furnished sublet. 3) Ophthalmologist recommendations - I have recurrent corneal ulcers and need my "eye guy" in every city I move to. 4) Share this post. Much love 💛

Every founder knows this feeling: the fear right before launch, making that hire, or raising that first check. Fear = proof you’re growing.

Too many founders chase, confusing motion with progress. As @davenemetz, founder of @BleacherReport, reminds us: speed and iteration matter, but only if they’re tied to clear goals, audience needs, and product focus. Stay intentional. Stay focused. That’s how you build something that lasts.

If you're ready to add the audience lever to your founder toolkit, I do limited advisory work with ambitious founders. The FCI model isn't theoretical for me. It's what I do every day. Let's explore building your FCI advantage together. Let's talk: intro.co/davenemetz
