Talking to founders is one of my favourite things! Last year, I had the chance to chat with two Fabric Ventures portfolio companies Kulipa & Argent. Together they launched a physical card that bridges the real world and crypto—making it easier to spend in both. This partnership is definitely one to watch! 15 minutes time well spent👇 https://lnkd.in/euATBM-d cc 🎤 Axel Cateland, Itamar Lesuisse
