AI agents are appearing across every enterprise platform, but most still struggle to move beyond scripted automation into systems that can reason, adapt, and operate within real workflows.On this episode of Ctrl + Alt + AI, Dimitri Sirota,  speaks with Matt Swann, former CTO at Nubank and Booking.com, and a seasoned technology leader. Matt shares his insights on the shift from traditional AI to agentic AI, where AI systems act as autonomous team members rather than simple assistants.They explore practical strategies for implementing agentic AI across engineering, marketing, and sales, discuss approaches to governance and data protection, and reveal how leaders can balance innovation with enterprise risk. Matt offers guidance for companies navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape, ensuring teams can adopt agentic technology safely and efficiently.What to expect:How agentic AI can act as a team member rather than a tool, enhancing productivity while requiring careful governance and oversightWhy preparing data, controlling access, and implementing robust monitoring are essential to reduce AI risk and maintain trust in enterprise environmentsHow leaders can create flexible strategies that allow adaptation to evolving AI models and infrastructure while balancing cost, security, and operational impactThings to listen for: (00:00) Meet Justin Heller(02:49) Evolution from LLMs to agentic AI(03:40) How early-stage vs. large enterprises adopt AI differently(05:00) Agents as staff augmentation(06:46) Managing multiple AI models and vendor choices(10:18) Use cases: sales, marketing, engineering, and commercial operations(13:03) Key considerations for implementing agentic AI safely(15:28) Governance across people, process, and technology(16:47) Addressing token spend and proactive AI cost management(19:01) Cutting through AI security noise using frameworks(22:00) Integrating humans and agents in security and operations(24:35) Looking ahead: the future of agentic AI

A MAGIA DO CAOS ESTÁ NAS OPORTUNIDADES QUE QUASE NINGUÉM CONSEGUE ENXERGARNeste episódio do Stock Pickers, Gabriel Raoni analisa como o aumento do endividamento das famílias, a transformação trazida pela inteligência artificial e as mudanças no ciclo de crédito estão criando oportunidades — e riscos — para investidores.Ao longo da conversa, o gestor passa pelo olhar do investidor estrangeiro sobre o Brasil durante a Brazil Week, discute o setor bancário com nomes como Itaú, Nubank, XP e Mercado Livre e explica por que a revolução da IA ainda está só no começo.Além disso, Raoni debate o papel de gigantes como Microsoft, Google e ChatGPT na nova corrida tecnológica e como identificar valor no meio da turbulência dos mercados.

Is your bank being unbundled without realizing it? Most banking leaders are still watching the obvious disruptors. But the bigger threat may be happening behind the scenes, as software platforms, embedded finance, and agentic AI begin to reshape how financial services are delivered and who owns the customer relationship. In this episode, Rex Salisbury, founder of Cambrian, joins me to discuss what these shifts mean for traditional banking, why legacy moats are weakening, how seriously bankers should take Nubank's long-term U.S. potential, and what leaders need to do now to stay relevant. In this episode: • Why financial risk often shows up in strategy long before it shows up in earnings • What Nubank's model signals for the future of competition in banking • Why banks need to think beyond products and toward platforms, ecosystems, and execution #BankingTransformed #Fintech #RetailBanking #DigitalTransformation #AgenticAI #EmbeddedFinance #Nubank #BankStrategy #FutureOfBanking #Cambrian #RexSalisbury

Paulo Passoni, Managing Partner at Valor Capital, and Olga Maslikhova break down the two forces reshaping tech and capital markets right now — the end of 40 years of global integration as the US-China tech split hardens, and the collapse of the services moat as AI lets companies scale from $0 to $100M in revenue in 24 months by replacing labor. This is the May 2026 edition of TJC Debrief — a monthly show covering tech, venture, and capital markets through a global lens.We cover why China blocked Meta's $2 billion Manus acquisition and what the new US-led versus China-led ecosystem split means for global M&A, how SoftBank's blocked Arm-NVIDIA sale cost half a trillion dollars in value creation and why deals like it will keep happening, Anthropic's $50B round closing in 48 hours with secondary markets pricing ahead of the primary and what it reveals about AI's escape velocity, why Anthropic and OpenAI are forming joint ventures with Blackstone, TPG, Apollo, Sequoia, General Atlantic, and GIC to lock in compute capacity and guaranteed revenue, Plata's $5B round and why Qatar Investment Authority, US endowments, and long-only funds piled in alongside Valor Capital — and what mispriced Russian and Eastern European talent has to do with it, why data is becoming the last real moat and how Nubank, Revolut, CloudWalk, Mercado Libre, and JPMorgan are racing to train proprietary models on their own customer data, the radiologist paradox and what it predicts for tax accountants, lawyers, and every services job AI is supposed to kill, the legal AI startup Enter and the wild story of prompt injections hidden in PDFs filed to courts, why humanoid robots at $600/month today and $100/month in ten years will reshape global labor markets, Elon Musk and SpaceX as the "build potential, then monetize" playbook, and the $0 to $100M in 24 months phenomenon — why early movers in vertical AI are already hitting this scale and where the next opportunities will emerge across legal, wealth management, healthcare, and security.Subscribe to The J Curve Insider newsletter for deeper insights and follow Olga on LinkedIn and Instagram.

"Para trás nem para pegar impulso." Clovis de Barros Filho.Iniciamos este episódio com essa provocação para discutir o movimento frenético do mercado de tecnologia. No Drops de IA de hoje, eu e o Thiago Vespa mergulhamos em um dos temas mais quentes do momento: a bolha da inteligência artificial vai estourar?Debatemos a diferença crucial entre lucro e valor de mercado, citando empresas como Nubank e a própria OpenAI que operam com valuations bilionários mesmo sem entregar lucros imediatos, baseando-se no seu potencial disruptivo.O que você vai encontrar neste episódio:- Os números do hype: discutimos o investimento global de R$ 8,4 trilhões em IA, um valor que chega perto de todo o PIB do Brasil;- A previsão da IA local: o Vespa traz uma visão de futuro onde rodaremos LLMs diretamente em nosso hardware (como placas RTX), fugindo da dependência da nuvem e dos custos de assinatura;- O paradoxo do programador junior: um insight surpreendente sobre como empresas estão voltando a contratar desenvolvedores iniciantes porque, em alguns casos, o custo humano já é menor do que o custo dos tokens de IA;- Experiência com Claude e Lovable: compartilho como usei essas ferramentas para criar meu site pessoal em React, mesmo sem ser especialista na linguagem, e por que o Claude tem superado o GPT em tarefas de código;- Squads de agentes autônomos: o futuro onde uma única pessoa pode orquestrar uma equipe inteira de IAs locais.O papo vai muito além da tecnologia, é sobre estratégia, governança de dados e sobrevivência na economia digital.

Your bank might be winning the battle for the transaction. It is losing the attention war for the customer. Live from Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas, host Jim Marous is joined by Alex Johnson (Fintech Takes) and Mary Wisniewski (Cornerstone) to unpack the most critical shift in retail banking today: the move from a utility-based model to an attention-based economy. Traditional institutions are relying on customer inertia. Fintech leaders like NuBank are hiring out of TikTok to capture daily engagement. This episode explores how banks can fight back by using their data and modern infrastructure to become an indispensable part of a customer's daily routine. In this episode, we dive into: • The Attention Economy: Why dollars now follow attention, and how banks are failing to compete for daily active users. • The NuBank Playbook: What a TikTok executive hire signals about the next generation of bank growth strategy. • Overcoming Complacency: Shifting from a legacy mindset to the hunt-and-kill urgency found in the top fintechs. • Infrastructure Upgrades: How FedNow, open banking, and AI are finally making real-time, personalized experiences possible. • Agentic AI: The rise of personal finance agents and why the industry must experiment with these tools today. • The Monday Morning Test: Why the executives who put in the reps on these tools now will be the ones still relevant in five years. As Alex Johnson put it on the show: "If you don't have a strategy to acquire and retain your customers' attention, you cannot count on inertia to keep them with you". #Fintech #DigitalBanking #AttentionEconomy #BankingTransformed #AIinBanking

Muy buenos días, la “recesión” está de vuelta en el vocabulario de los pronosticadores de la economía, no como un hecho, pero sí como una posibilidad. La volatilidad y la guerra disparan los ingresos de los bancos de Wall Street. Sucesión en la Fed: se acerca una audiencia para Kevin Warsh, el posible sustituto de Powell, hoy hay encuesta y es entre Plata y Nubank. También hablamos sobre el enojo Trump y Vance con el Papa. 

Paulo Passoni, Managing Partner at Valor Capital, and Olga Maslikhova break down Claude 4.6, Brex's $5.15B sale to Capital One, and why only 4 US companies can IPO right now. This is the April 2026 edition of TJC Debrief — a monthly show covering tech, venture, and capital markets for Latin American founders and investors.We cover why Claude 4.6 was a bigger “aha moment” than the original ChatGPT for building companies and how it's rewiring CTO roles, org design, and the question of what a moat even is anymore, how Nubank, Revolut, Tether, and Plata are reshaping consumer finance and why Paulo thinks regional US banks are an “aberration” that shouldn't legally exist, the Brex x Capital One deal, Ramp's software multiple, and what the prof stack saving late-stage LPs means for every fintech exit going forward, Brazil's IPO window cracking open and Mexico's sudden flood of Sequoia, Founders Fund, and a16z capital, why Paulo thinks many employees are already “worse than AI” and why every salary should now come with a token budget, how he built a working marketplace in three hours on Perplexity Comet without writing a line of code, and the coming collapse of low-ROI universities and what it means for talent in LATAM.Subscribe to The J Curve Insider newsletter for deeper insights and follow Olga on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Nesta edição, analisamos as novas regras aprovadas pela Câmara dos Deputados para o chocolate no Brasil, que elevam os percentuais mínimos de cacau e exigem mais transparência nos rótulos — e o que isso significa para o mix da sua bomboniere nesta Páscoa. Discutimos também a ciência do unboxing e por que a embalagem do seu e-commerce pode ser mais decisiva para a fidelização do que qualquer campanha de marketing.Abordamos o paradoxo da IA no varejo: enquanto o setor acelera a adoção tecnológica, metade dos consumidores ainda resiste a interações puramente automatizadas por falta de confiança e falhas na experiência.

A series of “extraordinary” events has made the environment more challenging for growth stocks. But “this level of trepidation can't go on forever”, says Baillie Gifford partner Stuart Dunbar in this latest episode, suggesting that patient investors will benefit when stability returns and the markets value exceptional companies at a premium again. Stuart Dunbar is a director in Baillie Gifford's Clients Department and is responsible for helping shape and communicate the firm's investment philosophy.In this conversation, he considers how a succession of disruptive events – the most recent being the current war in the Middle East – has rattled markets and led investors to focus on companies' short-term profits rather than their long-term potential.However, this period of flux will not last forever, he argues. And when we re-enter a period of stability, patience should be rewarded as markets recognise exceptional companies' future earnings potential and price them accordingly. In the meantime, Baillie Gifford's investment teams remain focused on finding and supporting businesses that will prosper from change and supporting their management to take the long view. And as Dunbar reveals, as the sources of growth broaden out, we are backing some companies that come as a surprise.  Portfolio companies discussed include:Astera Labs – the semiconductor chip designer, whose products tackle data bottlenecks in AI datacentresIREN – the datacentre operator whose clients include MicrosoftMedpace – a contract research organisation that biotech and pharmaceutical companies hire to run their clinical trialsNu Holdings – owner of the Latin American fintech NubankSpotify – the audio streaming platform that lets people listen to music, podcasts and audiobooksWillScot – North America's largest provider of temporary space rentals, leasing out modular offices, portable storage containers and classroom units  Resources:Actual investors hubActual investing revisitedBaillie Gifford podcastsPrivate growth investingThe Compound and Friends podcastThe Success Equation Companies mentioned include:AJ BellAmazonAnthropicAstera LabsByteDanceIRENMedpaceMicrosoftNu HoldingsNVIDIASpotifyWillScot Timecodes:00:00  Introduction02:00  Active v passive03:35  “Know what we own”06:15  Building relationships with company leaders07:55  Causes and effects of uncertainty11:05  Beyond the Magnificent 712:45  A period of relative stability17:50  Compressed valuations19:25  Nubank and Medpace's promise23:10  Meetings with clients25:40  Broader sources of growth28:15  Private equity growth31:25  Better-informed stock picking33:25  Staying independent and standalone35:45  “Wait until the market comes to its senses”37:10  Book choiceGlossary of terms (in order of mention):  Latent heat: energy absorbed or released during a change of state, like ice melting, without a change in temperature.Active investing: trying to beat the market by choosing investments based on research and judgement.Passive funds: investment funds that track a market index rather than picking stocks actively.Quantitative approaches: investment methods that use data, models and statistics to make decisions.Market capitalisation weights: an index method that gives bigger companies a larger influence based on their total market value.Alignment of incentives: making sure different parties are rewarded in ways that encourage the same goals.Drawdowns: significant falls in the value of an investment from a previous peak.R&D: research and development – spending on innovation and new products or technologies.Backdate options: setting share-option dates retrospectively to make them more valuable, often controversially.Shareholder registers: the official records of who owns a company's shares.Benchmark: a standard, often an index, used to compare investment performance.Magnificent 7 / Mag 7: the seven giant US tech stocks that have dominated market performance in recent years.GPU: graphics processing unit – a specialised chip often used for AI computing because it handles parallel tasks well.Sub-market multiple: a valuation lower than the market average.Strategic asset allocation: deciding how much to invest in broad asset classes like shares, bonds or private markets.Benchmark-aware: closely focused on performance relative to a benchmark index.Venture capital: investment in early-stage, high-growth private companies.Private equity buyout funds: funds that buy controlling stakes in companies, often using debt.Private equity growth: investing in more mature private companies that are expanding but not yet public.Roadshow: presentations by company leaders to investors ahead of an IPO or fundraising.Alternative asset classes: investments outside traditional shares and bonds, such as private equity or infrastructure.Path dependency: the idea that outcomes are shaped by the sequence of earlier decisions and events.  

Send a textMiguel Armaza interviews George Robson, Partner at Sequoia Capital, one of the most legendary venture firms in the world. Founded in 1972 by Don Valentine, Sequoia has backed some of the most successful tech and fintech companies in history including Nvidia, Apple, Google, Nubank, and Stripe. Sequoia-backed companies make up over 25% of the Nasdaq's market cap, and add up to $13+ trillion in market cap.George is one of 19 investing partners at Sequoia and was previously a product manager at Revolut. We discuss how Revolut built a multi-product machine by treating every team like a startup, how Sequoia uses storytelling to calibrate its investors on what generational founders look like, and why the next wave of fintech winners will be full stack companies that internalize the technology instead of selling it to incumbents.Timestamped Overview00:00 Intro & George's Background04:14 Finding My People at Revolut07:37 Building Self Sufficient Cross Functional Teams10:57 Focus on Growth and Profitability14:45 Crucial Decision and Growth17:49 High-Conviction Investment Strategy19:07 Parth's Inspiring Entrepreneurial Path23:38 Entrepreneur Growth and Resilience28:19 Storytelling Key to Early Success31:05 Effective Board Dynamics34:14 Entrepreneurs Investors and Problem Discovery36:42 Outsiders Tackling Big Markets40:21 Rewriting Business Laws of Gravity44:04 Humbling Reads and Insights46:17 Doug Leone Fierce and KindWant more podcast episodes?

En este primer episodio de Arquitectura de los Negocios, Susana Sáenz cuenta la historia del origen de Nubank, el banco digital que en poco más de una década logró llegar a más de 130 millones de clientes en América Latina. El episodio narra cómo su fundador, David Vélez, identificó las fallas del sistema bancario brasileño -altamente concentrado, caro y burocrático- y decidió construir un banco desde cero como si fuera una empresa de software. Para empezar, Nubank lanzó una simple tarjeta de crédito (bajo lista de espera) desde una app y empezó a ganar usuarios a gran velocidad.Prueba Whitepaper 30 días gratisCompra tu gorra o ilustraciones de Whitepaper aquí

In banking, we often talk about the "front end" customer experience or the "back end" systems of record. But according to S.P. “Wije” Wijegoonaratna, the founder of Aliya, the real revolution is happening right in the middle. From his early days in the UK to his time in the high-stakes world of New York hedge funds and his role as an early investor at SoFi, Wije has consistently found himself at the intersection of financial data and decision-making.At its core, Aliya is an operational intelligence layer that sits between a bank's customer-facing front end and its core system of record, what Wije calls "the middle." It combines transaction categorization trained on 1.5 trillion transactions from nearly 1,500 banks, dynamic risk segmentation, and real-time post-origination monitoring into a single microservices platform.In our conversation, we discuss why Aliya went after the largest banks first, how their approach to post-origination risk management drives charge-off rates as low as 2.5%, why Wije believes Nubank poses an existential threat to regional and community banks, and why he thinks the biggest opportunity in banking today lies in transforming that middle layer.In this podcast, you will learn:How meeting Mike Cagney and the founders of Palantir was the catalyst for the birth of Aliya.Why they decided to start with helping banks with lending.The two core offerings Aliya has today.Why the cumulative losses on their portfolio is far better than most lenders.How they decide when to take action on a consumer that may be having problems.Why they chose to focus on selling to the large banks first.What they are providing to the large banks exactly.Why Aliya doesn't fit into any fintech category.Where the biggest opportunity for Aliya is today.Why Wije believes Nubank is going to be successful in the US.What is next for Aliya.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

What happens when all the world's money moves on chain? That's not a hypothetical for Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, it's the company's mission. In this episode, Marc explains how Polygon is evolving from its roots as an Ethereum layer two into the blockchain for global payments, detailing two recent acquisitions that form the foundation of what he calls the "open money stack" - a single API combining on-ramps, wallets, and cross-chain interoperability.With over $2.5 trillion in transaction volume already processed and partnerships with Revolut, Stripe, Nubank, and dozens of fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Marc makes the case that stablecoins are just the beginning. He shares why tokenized bank deposits will be the real game-changer, how banks are already positioning to profit from this shift, and why in 10 years he believes every dollar, whether paying a merchant down the street or sending a remittance across the globe, will move on a blockchain without anyone even thinking about it.In this podcast you will learn:How Marc first got interested in blockchain and crypto technology.Why he decided to make the move to Polygon Labs.Why Polygon decided to focus on payments.All the components you need to move money around the world on blockchain.The idea behind the open money stack.How Polygon is working with the likes of Revolut and Stripe.How they differentiate themselves from the other payments blockchains.What they are doing in AML and sanctions policy.The scale that Polygon is at today when it comes to transaction volume.What will the financial system look like when more money stays on chain.The two things banks ask in their initial conversations with Polygon.How money will transform in the next 10 years and why most people will not notice.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes
