My first mission was envisioned while on a cross-country road trip in a 1984 VW Vanagon Westfalia. What a long strange trip it's been.

Read this fantastic response to @washingtonpost 's article indicting #fintech for taking advantage of the #PPP. I couldn't agree more with what @peterrenton has to say. Without fintechs, the US economy would truly have been demolished.
