I am building a stablecoin payments processor that will help reduce the fee, time and friction for cross-border payments. We are a team with startup scars and big-tech scale. Combining the experience of handling tech for payments, web3 engineering and crypto trading, unlocked a secret hidden in plain sight that can be used to process payments really profitably!
Hey Ruben , saw your note in the VC Corner newsletter!
My team is building medflow.ai an AI platform that automates medical workflows (scribing, billing, scheduling). Just launched our demo. Would love to see if it could be a fit for Speedrun — mind if I share more? I also just applied for the speedrun program and would love any tips/advice.
Hi Ruben, read your note on VC corner. I recently joined Substack.
I’m a senior UX designer with a CS + HCI background, obsessed with turning complexity into clarity.
After a decade designing for global enterprises, I’m building Polymetis.AI—an intelligent growth app that helps people compound success across life’s key areas.
It blends behavioral science, emotional design, and AI to replace scattered wellness tools with one holistic, habit-forming system.
Think Calm meets Duolingo—but for your whole life. 🌱
New subscriber here - and have been reading through VC Corner for the last 2 hours.
Thank you for all the value you & the team add.
We’re building Churchstream, the first AI-native operating system for churches. Most churches still run on outdated tech, leaving them with overpriced staff costs, 67–90% churn, and billions in lost giving every year. Our insight is simple: while ministry work can be deeply meaningful, the operational side is highly repetitive and rule-based—the exact kind of work AI can take. We’re designing an OS that gives churches every tool they need to operate—and embedding a horizontal AI layer that lets pastors and staff complete entire projects or tasks with a simple prompt.
In just the past month, we’ve finished our MVP, signed 3 paying churches (in addition to 6 pilots) and are in active discussions with a network of 13k+ churches.
Each member of our team has 10+ years of deep domain expertise and experience shaped by this space. We've essentially lived our ICP - informing every decision we make in both product dev and GTM.
Would love your thoughts on our approach, and if it resonates, a referral into the program would mean a lot.
Love this! More substack lives ;)
Yeah!
