Layer from Plaid (announced today) is pretty awesome! provides nearly "Instant onboarding" for users already connect to plaid's network (1/3 of all consumers). keys off of your phone number and pre-populates your KYC info. Similar to how Shopify Pay works for checkout but for onboarding for a new financial account. Plaid claims increases end-to-end sign up rates by 10 - 25%, which is a huge lift for their customers. Anyone here using it yet?

AI is going to radically remake accounting. Recently chatted w/ Seema Amble (Partner at A16Z) about this topic. Nearly a year go, she published a market map. Since then she has been - talking to companies about accounting needs - talking to accounting firms about how they are leveraging AI - talking to startups building in the space We cover what she’s learned including: - why accounting is already a profession in crisis - what are the specific “jobs-to-be-done” by AI in accounting - why LLMs not being 100% accurate is for more of accounting than you might think! - what are some of the growth vectors accountants should be exploring -how this changes accounting's business model (the billable hour) & more Great conversation if you want to know how AI is remaking one of the key sectors of finance. And if you want to understand gaps in current landscape that might be opportunities to build a new company.
