For what it is worth, this is a solved problem at @vinylequity. There’s no reason a Carta-era company should go back in time when they go public. We’re also actively working with pre-existing public companies to get them out of these legacy constructs - it’s an incredibly easy switch. Can work with them on freeing themselves of legacy contract constraints. It doesn’t have to be this way, @pitdesi!

@JakeKeuhlen Carta for public companies- maintains the shareholder registry. When a company IPO’s, your shares go through them and it’s a real pain. I’m writing them a snail-mail letter as we speak

I was upset at Computershare so I decided to run a twitter search to see what I could find... I found my partner Jake complaining about them 8 hours before me today :)

@MattRHeiman @iamjakestream @Computershare @vinylequity is ready when @mercury is 🙂

@iamjakestream @Computershare it's almost like they are trying to be bad

@Computershare is the single worst company in the financial services world. I don't know why any startup would work with them, but it keeps happening. If you are lucky enough to take a company public, you should do everything in your power to avoid them.

@mengxi @iamjakestream @Computershare @vinylequity @mengxi it will be a great day in @Infinity_VC lore when that happens!

@iamjakestream @Computershare @Secondrob and @vinylequity are solving this exact problem. My goal is to become his customer one day.

@vu0tran @pitdesi @vinylequity is open for business and working to save everyone from delays!

@pitdesi I have lost so much money bc of Computershare. Stupid filing delays due to lost paperwork leading to delayed dispersals!

@pitdesi Tell all of your portfolio companies about @vinylequity

@iamjakestream @Nrcoope @Computershare @vinylequity They can always switch now and you can work with @vinylequity instead 👀

@Secondrob @Nrcoope @Computershare @vinylequity Can you go back in time and convince the issuer to switch from Computershare, and/or can you get me access to my shares without me having to deal with Computershare?

@Nrcoope @iamjakestream @Computershare @vinylequity is the answer, @iamjakestream. Happy to see if I can help ease the path (for you, other investors, and the company). Give me a shout!

@iamjakestream @Computershare @Secondrob building a better option

Also make it harder for employees to leave companies the ramp curve to parallel efficiency in a similar role requires a rebuild of those apps and skills, which employees won’t own. “I’d have to recreate this entire universe of mini apps and context in order to be as effective as I am now”

WHAT IF ENTERPRISE SAAS NOW BECOMES EVEN MORE STICKY BECAUSE EVERY ASSHOLE IN THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOW VIBECODED TEN THOUSAND UNTRACKED BESPOKE APPLICATIONS THAT PLUG INTO THESE TOOLS AS THE SYSTEM OF RECORD?

@howardlindzon 🤣🤣🤣

Fucking Anthropic …

@segwitnitwit Write an email to the issuer asking them ti switch to @vinylequity. We’ll make your life a lot easier!

dealing with computershare makes me want to full port crypto and never deal with these antiquated systems again what do you mean it takes you 5-10 business days to process my check what do you mean it takes you 5-10 business days to send me my account statement

@The__Baumer @Computershare Write a letter to the company telling them to switch to @vinylequity - we’ll make your life a lot easier!

@Computershare why are you so difficult to work with?

@breccastoll Would be good if they added at transfer agent representative to this list, given the likelihood that there will be a dependency on registered TAs to issue these securities. @vinylequity

SCOOP: The Trump Admin just tapped leading CEOs in crypto, finance, prediction markets, and more for a BRAND NEW government advisory committee. Coinbases’s Brian Armstrong, Robinhood’s Vlad Tenev, and Polymarket’s Shayne Coplan are among the 35 named.

@msuster Millennial here. Agree. Excellent reference.

GenX here. This. Bad ass.

Only way I’ve successfully (and efficiently) dealt with xfinity is going into a store. Call center is abysmal. I recently canceled my service and they sent me 6 cable boxes a week later. The employees at the store literally told me “yeah, I would just come here next time. They never get it right.”

.@XfinitySupport absolute train wreck of customer support -- worst phone trees ever. Cannot access a human without a 10 minute BS. Cannot move service. Questions are not applicable. 4th straight day of talking to kind but clueless third party phone centers.

I didn’t test, but I didn’t have a connection issue the entire flight, watched an internal meeting recording on Google Drive and never had a buffering issue once. Phone and computer auto-connected and prompted me to log into my MileagePlus account. User experience was really solid. Also great marketing for @Starlink. Makes me think I might be insane for having Comcast at home.

@Secondrob @united @Starlink Did you test up/down speeds?

On my first flight on @united with @Starlink and good lord is it a game changer.

@IanRountree It’s like a mortgage. You have a place to live for a little while, but you have to pay it down over time. Never understood either.

I think it's weird when people are congratulated on raising money. Like oh you mean congrats on the crushing responsibility of the expectation to return ~3-10 times this money? Or, congrats on selling a big chunk of your company to relatively passive 3rd parties? Yeah thanks!

Once in awhile you get an update from a portfolio company and think to yourself "Holy Sh*t I am lucky to be a part of this" Today is one of those days... Lucky to be able to back some incredible people @BarrelVentures

@BrometheusPound @NotreDame He almost certainly wouldn’t have… The guy started an entire religion, almost definitionally he was an independent.

“On behalf of the entire Notre Dame community, I want to express how incredibly proud we are of our football student-athletes for their accomplishments both on and off the field this season. We are deeply grateful for the exceptional leadership of Vice President and Director of Athletics Pete Bevacqua, Head Coach Marcus Freeman, and the entire coaching staff. Our pride stems not only from this team’s success on the field but from the values they embody: faith, perseverance, selflessness, and a steadfast commitment to the University." —University President Rev.
