Synapse provides building blocks to build financial software products. They enable anyone to compete with Chase Bank or Bank of America on top of Synpase’s infrastructure. With funding from a16z and Trinity Ventures, this is a rocketship in the making. Some of the questions I asked are:\nWhat is Synapse?\nWhat can a startup build on top of Synapse?\nWhat is wrong with the current system of banking?\nWhat are some of the companies are Synapse powering\nWhat have you learned while building Synapse?\nWhat is the big vision for Synapse?\nWhat advice do you have for new founders wanting to start a company?\nLearn more about Synapse here and learn more about Sankaet here. Thanks for tuning into another episode of Forward Thinking Founders.  See you next week :)\nGet on the email list at forwardthinking.substack.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/n90skvHZnWkXuUwHIWy-5PiFO75GvJFgDeTivSWX__E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzU3MzYvMTY2MjY3/NzQ4Mi1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
