@jeff_weinstein @stripe Congrats Jeff!

five years at @stripe today, reflecting a bit. if fun, ama (ask me anything) and i’ll answer as detailed as i can about my experience, what we’re up to, or anything else.

📣 announcement: all stripe @atlas companies now get 50 million free @OpenAI credits* available in your dashboard at dashboard.stripe.com/atlas/perks * that’s enough to ask the magic robot 375 novels worth of prompts. (50M credits * ~750 words per 1K credits / ~100K words per novel)

@nthnmsmth @stripe @atlas Incredible thread!

Hiya! I’m an engineer on @stripe @atlas. A quick deep dive on the surprisingly complex (and interesting!?) minutiae of company names. Here's a behind the scenes of how we help founders *not* know all nerdy details of the State of Delaware and the IRS... 🧵

@AshleySLiu Congrats!!

Can anyone recommend VC's who actively invest in real estate tech companies? thank you!

@jeff_weinstein @atlas What a crew!!!

If you're curious, here's (the bulk of) our stripe @atlas team. Fun to get a sense of the people behind the software (and faxes). 📸

What do you wish you (and your founding team) did wayyy before officially incorporating your company? Like, stuff you should have thought about, mistakes you made, conversations you should have had, decisions that mattered, or anything else you’d recommend to your former self?

💸 What should be a lot easier about raising your very first round of funding? Or, other prompts: - How was it surprising? - What was laborious? - Tips for a new founder? - Interesting sources of capital? - Helpful links you read/watched? - Anything do you regret or was unfair?

@f_fatemi21 @NassimRadmehr Congratulations!!!

✨Some personal news✨

ARR. Annual RECURRING revenue. Most ecom, advertising, media, marketplaces, and, well, most everything that isn't enterprise SaaS (tons of exceptions tho) are not ARR. Yet, most companies raising $$$ use ARR.
