Tirana Slush’D delivered. Honest talks with investors, startups, and founders sharpened how we tell the PayStorm story, and why it matters.
Heard it more than once: clear pitch that stood out. That took the pressure off immensely.
Next stop: Slush 2025, Helsinki.

After an energizing few days at Tirana Slush’D, we’re heading to Helsinki to meet investors, founders, operators, and more at one of tech’s biggest stages.
If you’ll be there, let’s meet.

The team’s been meeting businesses, sharing what we’ve built, and giving an early look at PayStorm ARC.
There’s nothing like showing the product face to face and seeing it resonate.
Grateful to be in a room full of people building what matters.

Yesterday's Walid sharpened our pitch and pushed us to think bigger.
Late invoices don't need to take this much time and money. Now they won't.
Tomorrow: Tirana Slush'd. Then Slush Helsinki.
Big thanks to the teams and everyone who believes in us.

Not every update changes how you work.
This one does.
The new PayStorm shows you what changed, what matters now, and what to do next.
The kind of help you’d actually want.
Thoughtful, timely, and easy to trust.
We’ll show you more soon.

I was talking to a business owner last week and they said something that stuck with me:
"My business is making money. But I'm running out of cash."
Turns out? They're not alone. 22% of UK businesses are in exactly that position right now.

You’ve used tools that send reminders.

PayStorm ARC brings structure to the chaos.
It reads behavior, builds sequences, and guides decisions.

We kept hearing the same 5 things from founders using the product.
Some small. Some loud. All honest.

Set a default language for reminders. They’ll stay clear, polite, and ready to send — no edits needed.

Faster code generators and a generation of slower thinkers
Last week, OpenAI launched GPT-5 Codex, built specifically to challenge GitHub Copilot and Cursor AI. This isn't just another coding assistant - it's a direct attack on Microsoft's developer tools empire.

AI is changing the career ladder, especially junior roles.
Stanford researchers put hard numbers on what managers suspected: employment for 22-25 year olds in AI-exposed roles dropped 13% since 2022. Older workers in those same jobs grew 6-12%.

OpenAI discovered why ChatGPT lies to you and hallucinates
OpenAI published research explaining why AI confidently states false information even when it has access to correct data.
The answer is simple: AI gets rewarded for guessing instead of saying "I don't know."

Today’s signal is hard to miss: utilities are staring at nearly 400 gigawatts of new data center power requests, more than half of America’s peak demand, much of it tied to AI. Many of these sites may never be built, but there is a queue.

GPT-5 can write a solid payment reminder.
But it doesn’t know your clients. Who needs a nudge? Who’s stalling? Who always pays late?
PayStorm does.
It predicts who might ghost, adapts tone based on behavior, and handles follow-ups in 3 clicks.
Smarter chasing. Less work.

Two days ago, he told reporters "investors as a whole are overexcited about AI."
Tech stocks immediately crashed. Nvidia dropped 3.5%. Palantir fell 10%.
But isn't he the main reason behind this overexcitement?
