Proud to see @getstreampay deliver on the promise of frictionless payment. 🚀 We’ve held a strong conviction from day one: the next generation of payments will be defined by infra-first companies that remove complexity, compress friction, and own the transaction layer at scale.

At the @FT Future of Asset Management, @meshekah shared a clear thesis: the Gulf’s constraint is investable supply. The next phase will be defined by firms that build differentiated assets, apply global standards, and form long-term partnerships that compound over time.

At Outliers VC, we design for value creation by: • Investing in people early (Fellowship) • Letting builders lead (Builders Summit) • Creating repeatable touch points (structured onboarding syncs) Value creation is design in service of builders.
