I'm thrilled to announce we've led the Series A of Aleph (Aleph): the source of truth for financial data. Albert Gozzi has a big vision and has been moving fast. We were floored by the love from customers like Zapier, Notion, Webflow and Turo and are excited to back Albert inโ€ฆ

Thankful to the BCV team for taking a chance on someone like me with a non-traditional background for venture, as well as the founders, investors, teammates, and friends that push me to be a better partner everyday. Looking forward to what's next!

We at Bain Capital Ventures are providing our companies with loans from our mgmt co for payroll. In many cases weโ€™ve shared responsibility with co-investors. In other cases, we are doing entire thing. Regardless we want to eliminate unnecessary stress on our founders and their teams.

we often underestimate the power of incumbency in payments and the time it takes for new players to be accepted by both the merchant *and* the consumer -- take a look at PayPal

(and the competitors here are also well-resourced incumbents, just later to the wallets game)

PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1

Global SaaS revenue is ~$230B, a huge market. But, the global fintech market is many times larger. Fintech is MASSIVE ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’กPrediction: the venture industry will undergo a massive flight to quality in 2023. The winners will be SaaS, second-time founders, positive unit economics, and trusted domiciles. I wrote a piece about what this means for investors and founders here ๐Ÿ‘‡forbes.com/sites/merritthโ€ฆ

What a year it's been. After a crazy 2022, what should we expect in 2023? Is FTX a watershed moment or nail in the coffin for crypto? What about fintech's fraud problem? Join me Merritt Hummer Nik & saira on Dec 1 to discuss! orum.zoom.us/webinar/registโ€ฆ

Lesson from the FTX debacle is: a narrative can distort perspectives on exactly the same information.

The fraud part was secret, but all of the stuff that people are pointing out as ridiculous now was publicly available. We interpreted it differently two weeks ago than today:
