The checkout startup once valued at $11 billion is running a pay-to-play bridge, with founder Breslow putting in $5 million of his own money. Pay-to-play terms punish existing investors who do not participate, which is the clearest available signal that the cap table has stopped believing the last valuation. It is a useful marker for how the 2021 fintech cohort is landing as capital concentrates in AI.
