SUPPORT THE PLATFORM

This platform exists to ask harder questions, publish independent thought, and open up conversations that don’t fit on stage or in marketing gimmick published by so called news platforms or influencers

It’s self-funded and deliberately small , not aim at being an empire.
If you believe this kind of space should exist, here’s how you can help:

CONTRIBUTE TO THE PLATFORM

There are two ways to contribute to the platform, depending on your intention and your resources.

One is for those who want to share independent insight, research, or opinion, and be part of a thoughtful public conversation. 
The other is for companies or projects seeking to gain visibility, provided they maintain editorial independence.
Both models are welcome. But the rules are different

Independent contributions

For thinkers, builders, regulators, and researchers: If you have an idea, a critique, or a perspective that adds something meaningful to the conversation, I want to help amplify it.

  • Published on merit

  • No budget required

  • Meant to provoke or deepen understanding

  • Ideal for (solo) consultants, merchants, policy people, or critical observers

Sponsored Contributions

For businesses that want visibility, you can sponsor content only if you accept full editorial freedom. If your product deserves attention and you're not afraid of critique or nuance, let’s talk.

  • Sponsored but honest

  • No fluff, no ghostwriting, no brand polish. We keep the writing job in-house

  • You can promote, but only if it delivers insight

  • Ideal for product companies, fintechs, acquirers, networks

  • Benefit from real payment expertise & knowledge of the industry, your product will look definitely more credible

Note: If you want to “look good,” this may not be for you. If you want to say something meaningful, let’s collaborate.

COLLABORATE WITH ME

I don’t take on projects to build an empire.
I work to keep this platform independent and to collaborate with people who want to do meaningful things in payments.

You can work with me in two ways: 

Strategy Consulting

For businesses that need clarity on positioning, go-to-market, or revenue structure.

  • Deep payment industry knowledge across issuer, acquirer, and scheme models

  • Practical frameworks for product monetization and market entry

  • Clear messaging that cuts through buzzwords and aligns with business goals
  •  

Spill Your Tea

For teams who want to create their own podcast, video series, or editorial platform, with a real voice.

  • A bold narrative format tailored to your strengths (podcast, carousel, video…)

  • A public voice rooted in substance, not safe storytelling

  • A lightweight, scalable content model that builds trust — not noise
  •  

BECOME A PATRON

Not every contribution needs to be a post or a project. If you believe in the value of independent, self-funded content, you can help sustain it, simply by supporting it.
  • No paywall

  • No gated content

  • Just trust, honesty, and independence

This platform stays independent thanks to people like you — who value substance over noise, and honesty over visibility.

Thank you for being part of it.
