New hire 🎉 We’re excited to welcome @cnrfitz as US General Manager. Connor joins us from @Stablecoin where he served as Head of Partnerships, Cards. Please help us give him a warm welcome.

I’ve been told, that an UX/UI refresh is due on June 15th give or take for @KASTxyz I’ve personally been in the details on this one. Meet the team 3x a week, and we go through literally hundreds of screens and details. We’ve even spent a solid 1hr debating the logo for concierge (p.s. not perfect still). We’re not calling it an upgrade or V3, because it’s the new design system but features remain largely the same (that’s a non-stop shipping thing). That design system flows through to the web and business versions. We also have more awesome design people starting, so the whole app will just keep upgrading. It’s no secret within the company, that I’m wholly dissatisfied with the current state of our UX/UI. We will not stop till we are the cleanest, most feature rich global Neobank. I know it will be a success, when everyone else starts trying to copy us 🤣

All these exchanges and wallets trying to do fintech as a side act, obviously not working. People don’t bank where they trade. They do sometimes trade where they bank. The only exception to this in the history of time, is maybe the Robinhood card.

“Near impossible for MBAs to get a job at @KASTxyz” I actually have a HR rule, that if anyone has an MBA they have to come through my personal approval. Startups are high-risk, high-speed, high-instinct machines. MBAs are literally the opposite. Low risk, otherwise they would spend the years at a startup than spending money and years doing an MBA. Low-speed, because they analyse first than building backwards from an end point and making it happen. Low instinct, because the very fact they self selected into an MBA defines them as lost looking for clarity. Don’t waste your time with an MBA. Go and build. Only building matters, in the AI-era. It is easier than ever.
