@EverettRandle @benchmark Congrats Everett!

Honored to share that I’ve joined @Benchmark as a General Partner.

Today, I’m proud to announce the official launch of my second startup F2 (@F2aiHQ), alongside a $10M equity round. We've been building towards this day for 2 years, since Arc's AI team incubated F2 within its private credit marketplace. 🧵

@RSerna2010 @finix @AcrewCapital @lightspeedvp @leappartners Congrats Richie 👏🏾

Today @finix is excited to announce we’ve raised $75M in Series C funding led by @AcrewCapital, co-led by @lightspeedvp and @leappartners. When we started Finix, we were big believers in the developer movement. We still are! Since then, we’ve recognized that there’s been a major shift in the market. Even businesses that have developers don’t want to spend their time or resources on payments — they want highly brandable and configurable payment components. From startups to publicly traded companies, merchants to vertical SaaS companies, customers of all sizes are taking advantage of Finix’s no-code solutions. Today, every feature in Finix's broad product suite is now available in no-code, low-code and API-driven solutions. If Adyen is for the enterprise, Square is for card present SMBs, Stripe is for the developer-centric startup, Finix is for the 22M businesses without enough developers.

Since our announcement last week, a few people have asked me if @Finix is now directly competing with @Stripe Connect.
