Hey all, Jason here. I did not stay awake late enough to watch England beat Norway in yesterday’s World Cup match. I may need to make a stronger effort to actually watch the France v.

Hey all, Jason here. Happy 4th of July (America’s 250th!) and/or Taylor Swift wedding weekend to those who celebrate!

Big thanks to SEON for the invite to participate in their RiskTech Connect event here in Amsterdam last week. The weather here has been scorching, but it was worth braving the high temps for a chance to catch up with other fintech folks (and the venue, the Heineken Experience, was delightfully air conditioned.) I also want to plug my industry colleague and friend Alex Johnson’s latest write up on credit builders, generally, and a company called Kikoff, specifically.

Hey all, Jason here. Happy summer solstice to those who celebrate! Today, the longest day of the year, is 16 hours and 45 minutes sunrise to sunset here in the Netherlands (18 hours and 23 minutes, if you’re counting from first light to last light). I haven’t actually watched many World Cup games, but I am pleased to report that Mexico’s victory over South Korea means it will advance to the next round of the tournament. The Dutch handily beat Sweden yesterday, scoring five goals vs.

But I made an exception for Mexico’s World Cup match against South Africa, which Mexico won 2-0. I would say I’d watch the Netherlands play Japan tonight, but the game starts at 10:00pm here, and there’s no guarantee I’ll be able to stay aware for it. Another highly anticipated event unfolded last week: SpaceX’s IPO.
