I’ve spent the last few months reflecting on the state of consumer finance products. It’s tough out there, but I believe there is a case for optimism. Here are the 8 things I would think about if I was launching a Consumer FinTech product in 2024: thomasageorge.substack.com/p/8-reasons-to…
I've recently been thinking a lot about the online vs offline worlds. We live in an online world but there is power in the real world — it seems like communities of real people doing real things is still where change happens. What real world space do you anchor yourself in?
Should ChatGPT be banned or embraced in classrooms? Power Lunch speaks with two experts who say the tech is here to stay and schools should prepare students with proper AI literacy. @sineadbovell @aialex91 #AI #AIeducation

We're at a critical juncture now where global players like Visa, Stripe, and Paypal are game & domestic fintechs are seeking more crossborder/b2b revs. Here's some learnings: /1
Great UX and design seems like a bit of a lost art in 2024 for new builders and founders. What can we do to fix this?
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things. Luckily, the first one is now a lot easier because we built a fun thing to help you name your startup – short, one-word domains with no baggage. producthunt.com/posts/garple
Anyone starting an on-chain media trust system to help distinguish between true records of things that happened in real life and AI-generated synthetics? I would love to help and invest. This is both a huge commercial opportunity and a very important thing for the world.
People don’t buy products, they buy stories. Emotion influences our decisions & actions more than reason. The best ads transcend features & benefits—they evoke a feeling and inspire us to construct a narrative in our minds. This new campaign from British Airways is a beautiful…
In the long run a 3% cashback card cannot make sense. This diagram I put together on an earlier blog post still rings true. Credit card rewards including cashback need to be less than the average interchange fee from purchases plus the annual fee that a card has.
Fight for the check. Spring for the upgrade. That 3% cash back is yours. Claim your spot on the waitlist for the Robinhood Gold Card. Terms apply. robinhood.com/creditcard
One difference between a rookie VC and veteran VC: The rookie gets severe FOMO when they can’t attend every event and conference. The veteran gets JOMO.
When I first started recruiting for venture a decade ago, one firm gave me an interview question I still think deeply about: "Pick a startup you think is interesting and draft a cold email to the founder that would compel them to take a meeting with you". According to that firm…
The writing of the current generation of LLMs is like Wonder Bread. Yes, it's technically bread. It's suitable for some uses. But no baker would be pleased to have made it, and no one who cares about bread would enjoy eating it.
Financial services is heavily regulated, so will be slow to adopt Gen AI right? Wrong. A year ago, Gen AI x FinServ use cases were theoretical. Now, early implementations abound & we have a clearer picture of GenAI's potential (+ opportunities hiding in plain site). A 🧵👇
Any of you older tech millennials notice apps got... worse somehow? Like the basic usability stuff: account logins not working, patterns that are incredibly unusual...?
Overheard (so far) during the first day of @TheMint_vc: - "We just signed a $10k per month contract" - "Can we use the office on the weekends?" aaaaand we're off!! 😤😤😤
The second cohort of @TheMint_vc kicks off next week. Has been tons of work but also lots of fun spending the last few months selecting the cos and figuring out how to structure an experience that will be even better than the last one. LFG!!
Nearly 11 years into my venture career. Don't consider myself a true veteran by any means, but have been around long enough to impart 11 nuggets of (hopeful) wisdom to those new to the industry: 1. Sourcing is the foundation of success in venture. If you aren't finding & meeting…
Let me guess... your competitive landscape slide has you and you alone in the upper right hand corner? 🤔
If you didn't do enough diligence to notice that I left "came in fluffer" in my fundraising chart and then included it in your weekly email, you should probably not be a VC
