FINANCE

CFOs don't want another credit card. They want someone to make their financial operations suck less. That's what we sell.

We're the only tool your CFO will thank you for buying. Every other tool adds to the budget. We reduce it.

We're very important. We help companies to grow by helping them to raise capital. Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. It's a virtuous cycle. We have a social purpose.

Capitalism has the power to shape society and act as a powerful catalyst for change. But businesses that do not focus on making a positive contribution to society will ultimately lose the license to operate.

The future of finance isn't "DeFi vs banks." It's banks using DeFi infrastructure. When Swift integrates Chainlink, that's not crypto winning — that's finance evolving.

My banking career taught me one thing above all: cash flow is not a metric. It is oxygen.

The CFO's job is to allocate capital to its highest-return use. Everything else is commentary.

I believe crypto is here to stay. It gives people a way to participate in the financial system independent of traditional institutions.

The financial system should work for everyone, not just those who can afford a financial advisor.

Physics taught me to question assumptions. Finance is full of assumptions nobody questions.

I studied distributed computing at MIT. Now I run one of the world's largest distributed computing systems — it just happens to trade stocks.

We learned everything at Banco Garantia. It was not a bank. It was a war school for capitalism.

I built roads for twenty years before I realized the real money was in financing the roads.

The CFO is the co-pilot of the business. You have to understand every part of how the company works, not just the numbers.

Blackstone can do without China.

DeFi is going to eat traditional finance one piece at a time.
