Bam Azizi, CEO of Mesh Connect - From Credit Card Debt to $130M, Building the Rails for a $37T Market, Executing a Wild Pivot

Miguel Armaza interviews Bam Azizi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mesh Connect, a fintech infrastructure company that has transformed from a consumer-focus to a fast-growing B2B platform serving hundreds of corporate clients including Revolut, and Coinbase. After raising nearly $130 million, including a Series B closed in just one month, Mesh is now focusing on serving the stablecoin ecosystem.

We discuss:

• The rollercoaster journey from B2C to B2B and the painful but necessary pivot decisions
• Why stablecoins represent a $37 trillion opportunity that's reshaping global finance
• How fragmentation across chains, wallets, and currencies creates the perfect infrastructure opportunity
• The immigrant mindset needed to survive funding cycles and build through market volatility and a lot more!
