How Plaid Turned a Failed $5.3B Deal with Visa into Momentum | Zach Perret (Plaid)
Zach Perret saw a fintech explosion coming—and built the rails before it arrived.
On this week’s Grit, the Plaid co-founder and CEO retraces his path from building tools for developers to linking the world’s largest banks, and how a failed $5.3B acquisition by Visa became a launchpad.
He unpacks the pressure of operating in a tightly regulated industry, why rebuilding trust after the deal collapse was harder than expected, and how Plaid is navigating the shift from startup to staple—while staying obsessed with the end user.
