"creating a new category ๐" is not worth your time, 99% of the time
I think this is massive...
For too long, financial planning knowledge/literacy has been out of reach for most people, making mobility and inequality even worse. (We should teach this in schools)
Sadly tho, most Americans don't have much they can even save -- but this is a hell of a level up for most ppl.
Still a big fan of @copilotmoney too, which rolled out AI assistant / MCP today in beta as well!

insta co-founder @mikeyk on how snapchat and ig made each other better:
"My most interesting times at instagram were when we had a snap, for example. An interesting competitor, with a different approach. In a fast-moving market, you borrow ideas from each other."

"For snap, they wanted more of the influencer/celeb piece, [and there they looked to us]."

insta cofounder @mikeyk on his secret to consumer app hits:
1. there needs to be a new form factor (for ig, the cameraphone)...
