At @btv_vc we are often asked "what's exciting and what's your thesis?". We’ve never taken ourselves seriously enough to predict the future or pontificate about the direction founders should take, we do however, love to observe the present, learn from it and work with founders to figure out what the future could look like. From where we are sitting, Fintech x AI is the next great intersection ahead. Here's more on what we are seeing! better-tomorrow-ventures.gho… @pitdesi @iamjakestream @jbahrdestefano @digmonster

Have you been following stablecoins or exciting trends in cross-border payments? I shared some thoughts we have been developing on how stablecoins are reshaping the B2B cross-border payments market (deeper theme analysis to be published soon). linkedin.com/newsletters/fin…

I wrote this morning in @FintechTakes about how VCs need to be focusing on mental health. Not because it's a nice thing to do, but because in the post ZIRP era we can't afford as an industry to have "avoidable" loses. Thanks to @AlexH_Johnson for being a great thought partner

1/ I have some thoughts …
Replying to @mikulaja
How many of these wallets are compliant with Escheatment laws? I’d say that’s going to be the first area of impact. I bet I have <$10 sitting in each of various fintech wallets launched in the last decade.

It was awesome to be featured in @TechCrunch last week discussing how founders can avoid founder breakups and conflict. TL;DR... get on the same page early in your relationship. Create objective measures of success and clear accountability. techcrunch.com/2023/10/30/fo…
