We wrap up this season with a fun conversation about startup payments and indie hacking with Gabriel Ferraz from Creem.io

Co-founders Gabriel and Alec are two builders from the blockchain & crypto space who decided to reshape fintech for small indie entrepreneurs and startups. 

They have a bright vision for the future of startups, but the lack of transparency among the leading merchant of record payment providers pushed them to launch Creem

So they did, in just a few months 💪

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🤖 Using AI to track metrics on payments & more

🤑 Why Gabriel loves bootstrapped startups but needed to raise funds for Creem

🤔 What the current payment providers get wrong

🛠️ The challenges and future of fintech for startups

☃️ How to build a global startup from the quiet countryside of Estonia



Along with Creem, Gabriel hosts a fun and candid vlog on YouTube where he releases weekly updates and behind-the-scenes stories. 

Links to topics we discuss in the show:

  1. Meditations on Moloch by Scott Alexander

  2. Estonia’s e-residency program for founders.

  3. Antler VC and startup program.


I hope you enjoy the show!
