Francesco Simoneschi and the trouble with sixteen digits
The TrueLayer co-founder has been a tenor, a game analytics entrepreneur and an investor. With his school friend Luca Martinetti, he is trying to make paying from a bank account feel ordinary.
Vedika Jain
Vedika Jain is General Partner at Weekend Fund, a pre-seed/seed fund with 350+ LP operators from Stripe, Figma, and Airbnb. She broke into VC by writing fantasy investment memos on public deals - standing out among 600+ applicants with zero capital deployed. Before Weekend Fund, she was the first PM at TrueLayer in London, scaling the fintech from 8 to 80+ employees. She co-founded Signature Block (a newsletter for emerging fund managers) with Ryan Hoover, and writes 'Draft mode' on Substack covering AI products, investing, and life. Her path ran from Bangalore to Berkeley to Stripe to London to San Francisco - five cities, multiple passports, one very deliberate climb.
