Very proud to announce our multi-year partnership with PayPal.
Billing is becoming the system of record that drives revenue strategy. It's moving upstream. Not an afterthought you implement after payments.
Pricing complexity is only growing.
Hybrids, multi-product catalogs, self-serve and enterprise coexisting. AI making it all more complex.
This isn't going anywhere.
When the company synonymous with global payments picks you to power their billing infrastructure, it says a lot about where the market is going.
And about what we've built at @getlago.

there being exactly zero apps that tell you, real time, what’s going on socially in a major city is … insane.

1/6 Excited for the @GVteam to be celebrating 15 years but it would have been nice to see the actual founding story told vs the distorted version in the Fortune article. Here is my abbreviated version of the founding, lots of other fun details to save for another telling

@elonmusk The government is not above the law. The parliament is voted and makes the law. Judges apply the law, don’t make decisions out of nowhere. We have codes of law, from Napoleon, not common law where judges call the shots. (No autocracy in Italy.)
English
This is unacceptable. Do the people of Italy live in a democracy or does an unelected autocracy make the decisions?

Giorgia Meloni’s government in Italy will not be allowed to deport illegal aliens according to judges who just ruled against her decision. They cited how Egypt has a poor human rights record and therefore sending illegals from Egypt back to their home country would potentially violate their human rights so it cannot be done. Italy’s borders will remain open and the New Europeans will be allowed to flood both Italy and Europe forever more.

They clearly not endorsed her earlier because… because 🤔 ah they were editing and tweaking the video 🤭 - it says “early this week” so they called her right away but the video was not ready. This being said - Go Kamala! #Harris2024ForTheWin

Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.

9 months later, I still think about this:
I was invited to an HOA meeting to discuss our budget. While making introductions, the lead said:
“Ryan, you work in finance, don’t you?”
A part of me died in that moment. 😆 💀
(No offense to those in finance!)

@ianbremmer @ylecun It’s interesting that if France had the same electoral system of UK, the far right (assuming people had voted the same) would have gotten ~60% of the parliament after the first turn
English
@ylecun true. even more importantly—the french far right accepts the outcome as fair and legitimate.
English
Funny how the American Far Right feels the need to claim that every election they lose is rigged, even outside the US, apparently.
The French Far Right was not "denied a victory."
It just did not win because most voters did not vote for them, thankfully.
