    1/ Excited to announce the launch of @Cambrian_HQ 's inaugural $20 million fund to back the next generation of fintech founders! Incredibly grateful for my time at @a16z, and, now, exited to share how I ended up as a solo capitalist by way of community building. 🧵 👇

    AI “bubble” needs $400 / user / year to justify current capex by 2030. For comparison in US - Apples makes $1k / year for 165 million users. - Google also around $1k / year for ~250 million users . - Facebook around $240 for ~250 million users. $1k / year is also rough

    Zelle isn't cool, but it's larger and growing faster than the competition.

    My bank charges me $30 for a wire, but refunds the charge if I call in. When asked if they could just stop charging me and save both parities the waste of a call, the answer was no. Banking in the US borders on absurd sometimes...

    hate to say it, but my money is on Zelle. in financial services, distribution often trumps innovation.
