About

I’m Dave Glaser, CEO of Dwolla, a payments infrastructure company.

I write about three things: how the payments industry actually works (not how people think it works), what happens when AI meets financial services, and what it’s like to run a fintech company from the inside.

QStve is where I publish the full versions of my thinking. The short versions show up on LinkedIn and X.

Series:

• Hiding In Plain Sight . Payments observations hiding in everyday transactions.
• Man and Machine . AI meets payments and financial services.
• Koala Papers . CEO brain: strategy, decisions, leadership.
• The Money Move . Evergreen explainers on how money actually moves.
