And I hit send, and it froze.

They flagged the transaction.

They locked my account.

They put me on hold for 45 minutes, and then they told me I got to visit my local branch.

And that was the day I started looking for a new banking solution.

After asking a few founders what they were using, I found out about Mercury.

And so now my payroll is two clicks.

I can wire money, I can pay invoices, I can reimburse the team, all from one clean dashboard.

That's why I use it for all of my companies.

And so do 200,000 other startup founders.

And so if you're looking to level up your banking, head to mercury.com and apply in minutes.

Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank.

Banking services are provided through Choice Financial Group, Column A, and Evolve Bank & Trust, members FDIC.

You said, running a holdco is overrated.

I think the trend will die down.

Most rich guys I know are focused on one big business and built it for a long time.

So holdcos or these portfolios of businesses like you were doing was a very, very big idea or popular idea in our circles, in our bubble about five years ago.

And it's not a new idea.

Holdco has been around for a long time.

Give me your updated thoughts on the holdco.
