Why I Invested in JustPaid Before It Went Public

Why I Invested in JustPaid Before It Went Public

I invested in JustPaid during its seed round. It's now part of YC W23 and growing fast.

Here's why I made the investment when I did.

I look for teams solving real problems. JustPaid was tackling payment automation for small businesses. A problem I've seen firsthand.

The team had execution speed. They ship features fast. They listen to customers. They iterate. That combination is rare.

I also looked at market timing. Payment automation was ready for AI. JustPaid was positioning to capture that shift.

My investment strategy is simple. Find great teams. Back early. Let them execute.

JustPaid checked all those boxes. Strong founders. Clear problem. Ready market.

I'm not just an investor. I'm also building in the AI space. I see the convergence between payments and automation. That's why JustPaid makes sense for my portfolio.

If you're evaluating startups, look for execution speed. Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything.

Investment thesis: back teams, not ideas.
