Super excited to announce @columnbank. It's been a blast working with such an amazing team on this. wsj.com/articles/plaid-co-fo…

The most stable and coin-based payment rail.

Profile: Plaid co-founder William Hockey is building a 'durable' unicorn at Column, his startup with $200M in revenue and a valuation of (maybe) $6B. His bigger fight: a new financial 'Cold War' with China. I spent months and 100 hours reporting, writing and editing this piece, the first edition of The Upstarts Profile. We go deep inside one of Silicon Valley's most interesting, low-profile startups -- used by Brex, Mercury, Ramp and many more. And we give a first look into what Hockey and co. are doing in emerging markets, where as a proud American, he says China is "eating our f***ing lunch." upstartsmedia.com/p/profile-…
