I remember spending a couple of weeks in SF 4 years ago in an AirBnB... could I get a meal delivery in the evening? Nope. Needed a US phone number, or US bank account / credit card, or both. Things like Postmates didn't even allow the entry of a UK phone number with +44 prefix. I sensed then that travelling wouldn't get easier and more convenient, it would increasingly get less convenient. There's a real opportunity for Stripe, Twilio, etc to really dominate globally given that these are the tools we need to reach the largest markets, and inversely as customers to access services in all markets.
