a lot of valley companies inherited Google's approach to performance: don't make cuts, pay everyone generously, call it culture. tolerating B and C work isn't kindness to your A players. it's how you lose them, and how the whole company falls short of what it could be. David Senra @davidsenra 2 Ramp Cofounder @eglyman says paying high performers the same is one of the fastest ways to destroy a culture of excellence: “One of the most damaging things you can do to an organization is if there are folks who are getting paid similarly, and have similar ownership, and are x.com/davidsenra/sta…

This designer created a kill zone to catalog all the AI prototypes that didn't meet the craft bar. Design teams focused on token optimization should copy this strategy.

Over the years, I have tried to share learnings from my startups and seed investing. Decided to combine my startup tweets+tweetstorms into a tweethurricane. Here are my learnings + advice, from pitching investors to getting through the journey:
Tools give an agent access. Bash gives it a workspace. Hercules Gimenes on why Brex rebuilt its audit agent's runtime on @vercel's just-bash, and why the fix wasn’t more tools, it was giving the agent somewhere to work. Full read below.
A concrete design pattern for long-running finance agents: persistent workspaces, auditability, and controlled execution matter more than an ever-growing tool list.
AI is finance's top priority. But are teams ready to scale AI workflows? Airwallex says it asked Forrester to survey 1,279 finance leaders globally.
This is a quantified demand signal for AI finance workflows, but it is a company-sponsored survey claim and should not be treated as independent market evidence.
Mercury internal AI usage: 1. Growing exponentially and accelerating. Up 37% in June vs 24% in May. 2. Surprising Cursor is still up there. 3. Top engineering users reporting 3x higher productivity with AI. About 90% of usage is engineering and we have ~350 engineers.
This is direct operating evidence from a fintech CEO about AI adoption depth, not a product-marketing claim.
Some of the hardest problems in global finance still don't have a product built to solve them. That's why we built AI Sandbox: a track within Airwallex for Startups that gives AI-native teams a real Airwallex problem to build against, with production data and an internal team that owns it.
Airwallex is exposing real payment problems and production context to outside AI-native teams, creating an ecosystem path around its financial infrastructure.
Want to secure your own agent deployments? @pedroh96's handing you the playbook at @VentureBeat Transform next week. Get an inside look at CrabTrap, the open-source proxy we built at Brex to run AI agents safely at scale. Walk away with real strategies on stopping prompt injection, verifying agent actions with an LLM-as-judge model, and learn why open-sourcing the fix matters for the whole industry.
Prompt-injection defense and independent action verification are becoming core controls for agents that can move company money.
Finance orgs won’t just become more productive, they’ll be organized completely differently. That’s the more interesting implication of AI.
Ramp's CEO is framing AI as an operating-model redesign, aligning product direction with organizational change rather than simple task automation.
Every company used to start with paperwork. The next generation will start with a prompt. Ramp for Agents lets AI agents incorporate your company, apply for Ramp, and get your business ready to spend, pay bills, and manage money.
Ramp is moving from AI-assisted finance to agent-initiated company formation and financial operations, with identity, permissions, and controls becoming product primitives.
We’ve raised $320M at an $11B valuation, led by Addition. AI is changing how companies are built. Teams are smaller, global from day one, and using agents more. We’ve spent 10 years building the financial rails for that world. We’re now building the intelligent layer on top.
The CEO explicitly connects global financial rails with an AI-native intelligent layer, clarifying Airwallex's strategic product architecture.

Stablecoins are no longer just crypto assets, they're becoming essential tools for moving money across borders. Robert M., our Head of Stablecoin & Banking Strategy, joined Remy Blaire on FINTECH.TV to unpack what this shift means for small and medium-sized businesses. We explore: how stablecoins cut the cost and fragmentation of cross-border payments; why reliable off-ramps are the key to wider business adoption; and Payoneer's move to pursue a U.S. National Trust Bank charter and issue its own stablecoin.
A major cross-border SMB platform is positioning stablecoins as operating infrastructure and pairing that view with a regulated-charter strategy.
Financial IT reports that Payoneer opened a Gurugram, India innovation hub to accelerate AI research and development for its global payment infrastructure, following a Payment Aggregator authorization in India.
Surfaced as a repost while scrolling the @Payoneer homepage; original post: @financialit_net.
This was surfaced as a repost in Payoneer's account timeline. It is an external report about expansion and authorization, so it stays S2 until the company or regulator publishes a primary confirmation.
Validating public blockchains is a source of revenue for banks and adds a layer of trust to public chains. Taylor argues that transaction trust checks happen above the chain, while validation itself can become resilient, bank-grade infrastructure for programmable, 24/7 global payments.
This S2 analyst view offers a concrete potential role and revenue model for banks in public-chain settlement infrastructure.
SCOOP: Trump-linked fintech tied to “no KYC” crypto card programs, including one marketed for Iran sanctions evasion. Issuing partners have included Sutton Bank, Marqeta.
This is an S2 reporter claim, not independently confirmed fact. It is included as a due-diligence signal for crypto-card compliance, partner oversight, and sanctions exposure.
A Mercury designer's agentic design exploration shows how to sketch the LLM before prototyping. The post highlights a deterministic confirmation step before any money movement happens.
