I met with the founders sometime in the second half of 2017, I think before they had launched. I was looking for an eng leadership job and the just wanted / needed ICs. So it didn’t go anywhere.
But I came away with a strong sense that they would be quite successful. They just had this confidence and clarity of vision, that also didn’t seem like bullshit. And past experience building a company in the financial services space.
One funny thing I remember was Pedro (I think) saying their tech stack was Elixer, “maybe that’s crazy”. And interesting to see they have since started moving away from it. Seems they had some doubts about it from the start.
