The Pipeline

Show Notes

Dan Benjamin interviews Alex Payne, a noted software developer, speaker, and writer, who has just left a senior engineering role at Twitter, where he was the 8th employee, to join the startup BankSimple, a customer-focused online bank, as co-founder and Chief Product & Technology Officer. We talk about Twitter’s evolution into an “interest graph”, their new advertising model, working remotely, why he wants to create a “bank that doesn’t suck,” and more.
