Foundation Capital’s Post

Hopefully Eric Morse doesn’t mind me sharing this but when I first met him, he was looking for a job.  Actually I was interviewing him for a job at another portfolio company.  He was our dream candidate, we were so pumped at the possibility he’d join.  My job was to sell hard and get him over the finish line. Clearly that didn’t go as planned.  The trouble was, Eric didn’t actually want a job.  He had an idea.  What I soon learned was a great idea.  Having built Plaid’s first payments products after a long tour of duty at Visa, I’m not sure there’s anyone in the world better suited to build than Eric and Andrew Coover.  As far as I was concerned, we didn’t have a choice.  Push Cash had to be brought to life and usher in the era of multi-rail processing.  Oddly, yes, it was called Push even then.  Today Push is coming out of stealth and starting to move customer funds.  My partners and I here at Foundation Capital are proud to have led their seed round.  This is a geat moment to appreciate how much life Eric, Andrew, and the rest of the founding team (Christian Chew, Ben Drucker, and Vignesh Panchanatham) have breathed into that idea.  Huge congratulations to the entire Push team!  📃 Read more on Axios: https://lnkd.in/e4MCkn_K
