Stripe made a tender offer to equity holders in 2021 at the $95B valuation. Maybe not as high as it could have traded up on the stock market at the same time but not chump change.

He was an early investor but has no operational influence on the company.

Reading this was so refreshing. A few years ago, I shut down a startup I'd spent the past 4 years on and honestly didn't know what to do with myself. In hindsight, it was obvious I was slowly killing myself with stress but I was so attached to the company I couldn't walk away. I appreciate contributions like this to the startup/hustle narrative. Thanks for sharing, Frank!

I know Dwolla's FiSync protocol is being adopted by more banks and is zero-cost, but for Square to provide the consumer coverage most merchants expect they would have to wait for FiSync to get to a much larger scale.

How would Dwolla help Square cut out the CC companies?

hi icelander, Sorry to let you down. If you're a Balanced customer, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the transition: [email protected]

Hi Keith, sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you and the Storefront team. Feel free to email me if you need any help with the migration: [email protected].

I sincerely appreciate the faith you placed in Balanced. I'm sorry we couldn't keep it going, but you're in good hands with Stripe.

I mean, the funds will be available for use in the recipients bank account within 10 minutes. The API call to perform this operation will have much lower latency than that. Did I understand your questions correctly?

Happy to ask Steve to correct any inaccuracies here, Patrick. Feel free to email me.

Yes, Balanced is.

Balanced would be happy to discuss working with Venmo/PayPal as a vendor to power their push to card payouts if they're interested.
