I got to spend the last 3+ years at Mercury doing what I loved - making sure Mercury became the go-to home for some of crypto's top companies. We believed in the folks building real companies in crypto, even when no one else did, and far before it became cool to be a bank in crypto.
I've joined Flex as Head of Flex Global & Crypto to focus on an even bigger mission: to bring world class financial products to millions of underserved businesses across the world.
Flex has quietly become a trusted partner to thousands of businesses in the US. Businesses that were told no by their banks, and whose needs were overlooked by banks and fintechs building for AI agents and 20,000 person enterprises.
With the help of design partners that are leaders in their industries, we're re-designing global banking* from the ground up, with stablecoins not as a product, but as infrastructure that amplifies years of banking rails, partnerships, and credit expertise.
More to come - super excited to join @zaidrmn, @defyneric, @jaredthomas, and the rest of the team. It's day 1.
*Flex is a technology company, not a bank :)
If you're a consumer brand or spending on ads, please don't go into holiday szn not being able to spend on Meta.
if your Meta Ads account suddenly stopped working, it's because of your card provider.
poor quality BINs are blacklisted by Meta (and other ad platforms) and cause your ad accounts to be restricted.
if you're spending $100K+/month on ads, we can help at Flex:
> reliable cards built for high ad spend
> up to 2.3% cashback
> dedicated personal support
> card also comes in a sexy metal green color :)
i'm personally onboarding the next cohort of clients.

We’re cooked.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Now that cars can fly, can’t wait for NYC to put more unused bus and bike lanes in the sky to make drivers miserable yet again.

there are a bunch of $100M+/year companies on Flex using stablecoins for their day to day operations
here are some of the most interesting use cases i've seen so far:
> a company with 19 entities around the world uses USDT to instantly move money between entities instead of relying on international wires
> a global shipping company receives $50M+ in USDT from customers and regularly off-ramps it into their bank account
> a popular ecomm brand pays out $500k+ every month in USDC to overseas creators across TikTok and Instagram for influencer campaigns
we’re opening up public access to stablecoin accounts on Flex in the coming weeks
if you need a business account that gives you:
> checking accounts with up to $200M in FDIC insurance
> high cashback on card spend
> access to credit
> stablecoin accounts + on/off ramps
DM me personally and i’ll get you onboarded.
