Aug 7, 2026

In this episode, we're excited to introduce Matt Marcus, Co-Founder and CEO of Modern Treasury, the most trusted infrastructure for global money movement. Founded in 2018 alongside co-founders Dimitri Dadiomov and Sam Aarons through Y Combinator's Summer 2018 batch, Modern Treasury has powered over $400 billion in payments for hundreds of organizations, ranging from YC startups to financial institutions with over a century of history.

Before Modern Treasury, Matt worked at First Round Capital and Ultimate Kronos Group, and he graduated with a BS in Computer Science from Dartmouth College, where he served as captain of the men's lightweight rowing team. Modern Treasury provides a unified API for money movement across ACH, wire, RTP, FedNow, push to card, and stablecoins, and its recently launched Payments product brings together fiat and stablecoin infrastructure with built-in compliance, ledgering, and reporting in a single platform.
