1/ We're launching global fiat onramps on Privy. Users can now buy crypto directly in your app with a card, wherever they are. @Stripe Crypto Onramp powers the US + EU, while Privy's global aggregator covers 100+ additional countries. One integration, one destination wallet.
Annnd we’re celebrating the launch only way we know how: with an obscene amount of Diet Coke. New Yorkers! Come see us @ Fosun Plaza (28 Liberty Street) between 11am and 2pm to pick up your copy and get a free Diet Coke or four🤭 Selfishly, I’ve wanted to produce softcovers forever; I’m so excited about this.
Introducing our first-ever softcover: a lighter, more portable edition of Poor Charlie's Almanack. The hardcover has sold more than 400,000 copies and we've spent years figuring out how to make it even more accessible. We hope it's the first of many.
Today we're launching Intercept: a $500M philanthropic initiative to make respiratory infections, like the common cold and flu, a thing of the past. We treat respiratory infections as a minor nuisance, but that’s really not the case. Most of us will spend 5% of our lives (!) sick from these viruses, they kill 1M people a year, cost $600B annually in productivity, and periodically threaten civilization through pandemics. So, if they’re such a big problem, why haven’t we dealt with them yet? Last year we convened ~40 leading scientists, pharma R&D leaders, biotech investors, and regulatory experts to better understand that. We heard two main reasons: (1) First, it’s just technically very challenging: respiratory viruses represent hundreds of distinct, mutating strains across several families. Fortunately, recent breakthroughs make this newly possible. (2) Second is a lack of funding: broad-spectrum solutions have historically been underfunded, in part because they’re not a great fit for most philanthropic or commercial funding (and while COVID generated a burst of activity around preventing and understanding respiratory infections through an influx of new funding, that hasn't been sustained). We think that with enough focus and funding, this might be solvable. Intercept is a $500 million philanthropic initiative that will take advantage of new tools to catalyze the development and deployment of two types of products: broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies. This problem is undoubtedly difficult. But it’s more tractable now than it’s ever been. We think we should give it our best shot. We’re enormously grateful to our anchor funders: @stripe, @AnthropicAI, @TheFluLab, @FoundationOAI and individuals from Jane Street. And, I’m very excited to be building this with @incredutility and the rest of the team.
Very early experiment but I think this will be cool. stripe.directory.
