The basic gist is that we couldn't find enough customers with enough assets to pay our bills. Why that is, I could write a few pages about, but the short version is that regulations in the US were unfriendly and it scared off a lot of traditional firms and HNWs that were otherwise interested in deploying capital.

Proud of you guys. Hedgehog is a valuable product and a great idea. This is a hard thing to navigate but the one door closing so another can open saying is real.

Thanks fren, it's been tough to finally let it go, there's always another opportunity on the horizon, but the cost of foregoing other opportunities has just been growing over time. It'll be good to finally put it to rest.

Ah, amazing! It's a darker world without it. Teller looks sweet though, I've been pushing momentum accounting startups since 2014 or so when I realized there was a pattern at Acorns where people would run out of cash before they got their paycheck at EOM so they would withdraw their investments to pay their bills. Any streaming pay, lending, insurance is where it all needs to go, imo

Am I spamming the channel? I kinda like having conversations in public on social media, it makes it easy for people to jump in if they want.
