The chat started with someone sharing an email from a payment solution called Paymob, which is similar to Stripe. They shared the payout rates, yearly fees, and contact information for anyone interested. Some members expressed interest and others shared their experiences with using Paymob or Stripe.

There was a discussion about the need to improve the startup ecosystem and the challenges faced by startups in terms of fees and support. One member expressed interest in initiating an effort to help startups and negotiate better rates with payment gateways. The conversation touched on the imbalance of support provided to large corporations compared to startups.

There were multiple requests related to academic research and dissertations. One member offered to help with a dissertation and another asked for responses to a survey on sustainable/fast fashion. There were also requests for information and data on the property technology (proptech) sector.
