In this conversation he talks about:

  1. His journey building Drip Capital, going from 0 to 2 billion dollars in transactions on the platform.
  2. Getting incubated by Y Combinator when Drip Capital was just two founders with just an idea.
  3. Scaling the business across three markets, building a team of 250+ employees, and raising 500M+ in venture funding.
