  VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reported 19 seconds ago

  PayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

  @What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.

  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!

  Elon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

  @codeofvets @PayPal PayPal is straight trash. I had an account for years with no issues, then about 5 years ago they suspended my account and said they needed access to my email and social media accounts to continue. I told em to eat a bag of *****.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal Please restart your operations in Türkiye. We don't want to deal with @Payoneer, which charges exorbitant fees and causes problems. I will continue writing every day until you restart your operations in Türkiye.

  Write the shelter or rescue a check, or use PayPal, etc. That way there's not a storage or expiration issue, and you've got your tax deduction. Benefit animals two ways!

  @catturd2 I was actually in the middle of helping a homeless veteran living in his van. As you can see I sent him $500. I was able to send him $500 twice. I was trying to get him $2K total but Paypal would not authorize the transactions and then decided to permanently shut down my account!!! Therefore half of his funds are locked down! Unbelievable!!! I have used Paypal for years to get emergent funds to veterans!

  The difference between Elon Musk and many of his critics is that everything Elon Musk has was given voluntarily, while his critics rely on coercion to get what they want. People chose to place their wealth in Elon's ventures. They looked at what he did and contributed because it looked good. Then it turned out that the products worked very well. Most of the companies are also doing things that haven't been done before. They are expanding the possibilities for human life on Earth and beyond. They have been providing massive value to a wide range of people. For instance, Tesla is a win-win: an American company with American manufacturing jobs that makes highly-rated cars people love, while at the same time reducing reliance on fossil fuels. People will say that his companies have used government contracts, loans, and programs. Nobody should deny the importance of government. But nobody would be buying the products if they were bad. Musk never forced these programs that he benefitted from on anybody. They were available and he made the best possible use of them. He could have abandoned innovating after Paypal but instead he chose to put that money into further ventures. His net worth is derived from his own risk-taking and dreams that other people decided were worthwhile investments. His critics, on the other hand, would use the power of the state to force money to be taken and moved to other, much less productive purposes. In doing so, no value will be created and much will be lost. Even more importantly, the attacks reveal a staggering ingratitude and stupidity. Here's a guy we stumbled upon who created a bunch of companies that actually make real stuff,stuff that's never been made before so well and at this scale, and they do much of it in America. While I acknowledge that lawmakers might accidentally fund some future innovator like Musk with their schemes, what kind of message do they send to such people when they denigrate a man like Elon Musk? They are not simply arguing that we as a society should look at the issue of inequality. They are displaying a stunning lack of common sense and economic illiteracy in the assumption that the world is zero-sum, that the money should simply be "re-directed" to alleviate social problems. They send a very clear message that success on the level that Musk has achieved will not be tolerated. They want their goals exactly as they want them and without any dissenting views, as Musk is known for having.

  @HoweyJohnn34169 Thank you for the feedback. I suggest considering the affiliate program which is the next release and will be launched imminently… three referrals brings the cost of membership down to zero and from there its 40% of every recurring monthly fee that Vivé receives from every referral paid directly via Payoneer (we chose them because PayPal is dying and doesn’t operate here but they offer exactly same services) and straight to your bank account from there… every referral can start referring as well (instantly) with a live membership All details are on the website and inside the platform under the Affiliates tab
