Plaid has acquired @twifintech. 📣
Plaid sits at the center of a network spanning thousands of data partners, customers, and millions of consumers. Keeping that ecosystem informed, inspired and connected matters as much as the infrastructure underneath it.
@NikMilanovic built one of the most relied-on publications in fintech: a place where founders, operators, and investors come to understand what's happening, week after week. The team is getting more resources to do more with new formats, events, and live experiences, while the editorial independence the community trusts stays intact.

What you have in Lagos is not a connection problem; it's a supply crisis. There is a shortage of more than 2 million homes. You don't fix supply by increasing demand; you need to actually build homes. Finance or Fintech won't help here.

Every fintech doesn't have to revolve or be about Finance 🤧 We desperately need an app that can connect Landlords to Tenants directly 🙂

Aside from payment use cases, I have been working on other uses of AI agents—virtual characters.
With Storyengine.so, I am trying to imagine what it would look like to watch a virtual character live a human life. It's been so interesting and challenging to build.

@obchakevich_ LLM powered agents are not built to handle financial transactions or workflows. They hallucinate most of the time and might lose your money.

sure, it looks cool, but there’s a catch, friction isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s often the only moment when a person stops and thinks.
when you remove “you need to add a card,” you also remove “wait, why do I even need this?”
an agent with $5 and zero oversight isn’t just less friction, it’s less accountability.
who’s responsible if the agent misuses $5? or $50? the attention problem is real.
but the solution of “just trust the agent” shifts responsibility rather than solving it. that’s why we need innovative solutions for agent oversight and data security.

the reality of the world we're in is that people have ~0 attention span and ~0 patience to try new things out agentic payment-backed APIs are exciting because they reduce the friction from "i have to log in and add my card and get an api key" to "hey agent, here's $5, do stuff"

The rise of Fintech chatbots is now. I see a lot of WhatsApp bots leveraging frontier models for transactional conversations.
I think it's a great distribution channel especially for underderved categories in emerging markets.

Nigerian fintech Nomba has evolved from a chatbot into a payments platform helping African businesses accept payments, manage finances, and receive international funds at lower costs. techpoint.africa/feature/nomba-…

Asides traders who make a significant % of volumes of popular chains, very few users care what chain their USDC/USDT are on. They only care about usability – spend, receive and send.
As a consumer app, over indexing on supporting multiple chains will not get you distribution if you're not an exchange. Your goal should be delivering your core offering.

we have officially launched!
and i can’t lie… this one feels different
almost a year ago, i left london and moved to san francisco with 2 suitcases and a big bet on myself
london was comfortable
i had friends, a network, a routine
but comfort caps your ambition
i wanted to be somewhere that stretched me
since landing here everything has compounded
• hosting events and meeting amazing operators
• late-night founder dinners that turned into partnerships
• joining yc and being pushed to move faster than we thought possible
the last few months have felt like 2-3 years compressed into one
and now it’s official
we’ve launched
what started as an idea about performance-based payments is now a live product helping companies actually move money better
this is more than a product launch for me
it’s the result of changing environments, raising standards, and betting on yourself publicly
grateful for sf
grateful for yc
grateful for everyone who’s supported @jvheaney and
and we’re only at the beginning
if you’re in the creator or performance economy and care about scaling payouts properly, @usegrade is live
onwards 🚀

Please just ride safe and you will be okay. People die in car accidents too and this is not a comparison.
Neto@docneto
No other way to say this other than plainly. If you ride a bike anywhere in the world, let alone in Nigeria, you must have a death wish. There is no riskier mode of transport than riding a motorbike. The risk of that exhilarating feeling on a bike is not trivial.

Here’s a quick write up on getting into motorcycling safely.
Now, regardless of gears (the safety accessories that one wears) some accidents will result in loss of limbs or worse, death.
But still you should wear your gears all the time
If I had worn frame 2 (chest and spine protector) on the day of my accident I most likely would have walked away from my own accident instead of suffering a spinal cord injury.
Before buying a bike or at least riding I recommend that new riders purchase gears. I’m not in favor of used gears but that is better than none.
Having supported automobile manufacture in the U.S. I recognize the effort and thus the effect of research and development. A Nissan Micra can never be as safe as a Nissan Maxima.
So if you have a $100 head then buy a $100 helmet and expect $100 protection. If you have a $2,500 head then for gods sake buy the better helmet.
I saw at least two power bike riders today in Ibadan riding without any gears. I shuddered.
First frame is a helmet. Buy the best you can afford. If you can’t afford Shoei, Arai, SEDICI, then don’t waste your money. You also want a full face helmet. I’ll never own a modular again.
Second frame is the chest and spine protector. It’s a must have and wear.
Third frame is a full riding suit. It’s ungodly uncomfortable but skin grafts are uncomfortable.
Fourth frame is a neck protector. I think that may be optional.

There seems to be a confusion about what fully kitted is on a power bike.
Hiking boots, cheap Chinese bicycle gloves are not motorcycle gears.
Frame 1: A fully kitted rider.
Frame 2: A fully kitted rider on a bike.
Frame 3: A fully kitted rider getting up after a fall.
Frame 4: A Nigerian rider that survived being crushed by a trailer.
The comical strap-on elbow and knee guard belongs in the dumpster.
Of note is that none of this will be effective against a high speed trauma accident.
Open face and modular helmets belongs in the dumpster too.

Thank you for stating that open face helmets and modular helmets belong in the dumpster. There is nothing like wearing the proper gear when riding a power bike!

Over the weekend... I built an open-source Palantir! 🚀 It visualizes these: - Country conflict intelligence - Military bases locations - Near real-time threat mapping - Deep research/Intel on entities like Hezbollah or any groups Learn wars, conflicts, military bases and history of nations with the Global threat map. 🧙 🔗 globalthreatmap.up.railway.app

How is this a great response to my tweet?
Rubbish. I’m building rubbish too. Is that fine?
Ojes@abrahamojes
Hmm, and what have you built?
