Fireside chat: The Trust Transfer - #NYTechWeek
What does it actually take to get people to trust something new with the things they care about? The founders on this panel have answered that question twice, ten years apart.
They built Venmo, Stripe, and the consumer fintech rails that now feel obvious. Getting people to send money through an app was a fight. Now they're in a different one: convincing engineers to share how they prompt, and convincing everyone else to trust a cloud computer with their files, their work, and their ideas.
Same trust barrier. Different decade. Same people figuring it out.
We're getting into the pattern match between early consumer fintech and where AI is right now (what's the same, what's actually new), the shift from mobile-first to AI-first and what that means for how you build, hire, and sell, when to take an exit vs. keep building, and how tribal knowledge inside a team turns from advantage into bottleneck.
We'll close rapid-fire: best advice you ignored, advice you're ignoring right now.
Bring questions. Leave with quotes.
