In 2024, an employee at engineering firm Arup transferred $25.6 million after joining a video call where every other participant was a deepfake. Since then, AI has advanced significantly and is making impersonation increasingly convincing, causing challenges for financial institutions in particular. As autonomous agents begin handling more financial activity on behalf of people, establishing an added layer of trust and security behind a transaction or sensitive conversation is becoming an urgent need. Introducing @world_id for banking and finance, a suite of technologies that helps institutions establish trust through privacy-preserving cryptographic Proofs. World ID for Zoom lets meeting participants confirm they are the same Orb-verified human connected to their account, while World ID for agents allows AI agents to carry Proofs delegated by people. Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital, and VanEck Funds are initial design partners, bringing World ID into some of finance's most consequential interactions. fortune.com/2026/10/18/zoom-…

66 years separated the Wright brothers' first flight and the moon landing. 2 years separated Affiniti launching our credit card and today's launch of our full financial operating system. Relentless people build America. They use Affiniti as their financial operating system.

Big fan of Atlas as one of their first customers—it’s the number one fintech consumer product of our time since Robinhood and Revolut. An even bigger fan as an early investor who kept betting on them through some insane pivots.

Yuzu is one of the steadiest, most consistent and driven teams I’ve worked with, and masters of compounding. It attacked health insurance with first-principles innovation to bring it into the modern age and make healthcare accessible as a result. Lucky to be an early backer.
