@ new followers since moving to SF(!) â allow me to reintroduce myself:
I'm Devan (day-vin), and I've spent my entire life in marketing. education started early, I started attending my dad's @uclaanderson marketing classes at ~11. I started a clothing company at 15, a tech startup at 18, and have been working in tech ever since.
I ended up going to @babson, I consulted on early stage growth at some startups, I led growth at some other startups, and most recently I was building/launching new AI/video products @heygenlabs. now I'm onto something new, still lowkey for now, but ask me about it đ
if we haven't already gotten the chance to know each other, my DMs are open and I'm excited to meet you!
if you're interested in the long story, link's in my bio

Iâve known @bykahlil for years and have been watching him build @naturalpay since day 0
his clarity, tenacity, and rigor has genuinely inspired the way I move as a founder
congrats team Natural for coming out of stealth!!

210 days ago, @naturalpay was just a one-pager and a memo.
Today, weâre coming out of stealth.
Natural is the agentic payments platform powering frictionless money movement between agents, businesses, and consumers.
Wallets. Payments. Ledgering. Routing. Identity. Compliance. Credit. Observability. Risk.
Everything needed to move money. Engineered for agents and designed for humans.
These primitives give you the ability to transact without becoming a payments expert or stitching together a dozen fragmented tools.
Huge thanks to our team of 10 (soon to be 25), our early investors, and the supporters who believed in this vision from the start.
If you want to help shape how money moves over the coming decades, weâre hiring.
And if youâre building agents you should probably be moving money too. Reach out.
Read more about Natural and the products weâre launching in the blog below.

prediction: 2026 will be the year of fashionâs influence in tech
I know, âfashion already influences tech!â but not in the way that itâs about to
the cinematic launch videos, the world-building, the viral drops; the taste parallels are everywhere now
Iâm already feeling it

startup success is mostly a combination of good timing not quitting
took me a long time to realize the weight of that

as soon as you stop paying $10k/yr they send the username back to the original owner
more of a lease (that the original owner doesnât benefit from at all)
canât wait to see how this plays out
