if you've ever tried to build a ledger yourself, you've later realized that you probably shouldn't have and wished someone else did it for you. => fragment.dev => the database for money.

This was a key concern at @Petal. When you get it right, your products work seamlessly; when you get it wrong, the downside is vast. That's why it was a no-brainer for us to back Fragment. We couldn't be more excited to continue supporting them from The Fintech Fund.

Decided to angel into Fragment the day I read their API docs, which are to date the best I’ve ever seen. They’re the rare team that combines stellar eng ability, deep domain expertise, and commitment to craft above all else, and I’m lucky to support them. Congrats on launch!

Most ledgers force you to learn a whole new accounting vocabulary before you can use them. Concepts like credits and debits suck because, unlike numbers, they’re hard to reason about. And because they don’t explain why money moved, they’re too imprecise to be reliable. A ledger

Ledgers make money programmable. They can be a bank, brokerage, marketplace or whole economy just by changing the instructions they’re given. But they’re written in a language (accounting) that’s foreign to most engineers. In lieu of ledgers, they rely on spreadsheets and custom

Why do most fintech balances go wrong? Because the fund flows that update them don’t do accounting. Why don’t they do accounting? Because those flows are written in code. And the people writing the code are engineers, not accountants. The way to solve balances is not to force

For scaling fintechs, a real-time ledger isn’t enough. It also needs be high throughput. Why? Because every entry updates different accounts. And different accounts serve different audiences. You may need strong consistency for user accounts and high throughput for revenue
