Podcast #64 – Marqeta deep dive
In this week’s Pod, we deep dive Marqeta. Their mission is to be the global standard for modern card issuing. They enable other companies to develop, launch and operate card products, by providing the underlying technology that powers many of the new innovations in the payment space, including digital payments, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL), digital wallets, and just-in-time (JIT) funding (automatically funding an account in real-time during the transaction process). Their platform gives their customers full control to build a card that’s right for them and their end-users, allowing them to offer card products in a fraction of the time compared to legacy solutions.
Podcast #40 – Square deep dive
Square was founded in 2009, when glass-blower Jim McKelvey found he was unable to complete a sale because he couldn’t accept credit cards. He discussed the problem with his friend Jack Dorsey, and they co-founded Square, initially selling a cost-effective mobile phone accessory that allowed small businesses to accept credit card payments. This has since expanded to over 30 products and services for both sellers and consumers.
Square is one of the Telescope Investing model portfolio stocks, and in this week’s pod Luke & Albert deep dive into the company and discuss recent developments for this fast-growing player in the e-payments space.
