Compete against companies that call their engineers "the IT department"
The Peel@ThePeelPod

I talked to @chrishlad about competing against companies who think of engineering as the IT department: "If you're one of the greatest engineers in the world, why would you work somewhere you're a 2nd class citizen? Never in your wildest considerations or nightmares would you join one of our legacy competitors that doesn't care about you. If Ramp can make expense management sexy, you as a founder can make your category sexy. At @hanoverpark we wanted to build a hacker culture. A team of elite engineers, who otherwise might join an AI lab, and have a deep obsession with building for the most complex fintech and data problems in the world. That's a very different value prop than a legacy fund admin we compete against."

I started Secureframe because too much of compliance was theater. I believed cybersecurity and compliance automation should make organizations genuinely more secure, not just "more certified." That means real continuous monitoring of your cloud infrastructure and core business systems. Gaps surfaced in real time, not in spreadsheets reviewed once a quarter. And independent, AICPA peer-reviewed auditors signing off on the actual attestation. We've come a long way since those early days. Thousands of customers trust us now, from startups to enterprises to governments, and we take that trust seriously. AI is fundamentally changing the cybersecurity landscape, and the stakes have never been higher. We're putting our energy into building a future where trust and safety aren't afterthoughts but foundational. This is the work that matters most to me, and we intend to lead it with integrity. Sorry to all the folks dealing with this. If you've been affected, email us at sales@secureframe.com before the end of March with your Delve invoice, and we'll give you @secureframe free for a year.

Today we're launching a new brand and website for Warp. Our last website was built 18 months ago. At the time, we had a handful of customers, a small team, and a product thesis that most people thought was a dead end. The feedback in 2023 from investors was consistent: the market's too fragmented, the incumbents are too entrenched, you're betting on technology that doesn't work yet. We didn't listen. Since then, Warp has grown to serve thousands of companies. We've processed hundreds of millions in payments, on track to $1B this year. Companies are migrating away from ADP, Rippling, Gusto. Some breaking their contracts to switch. We went from a payroll product to a full platform: HRIS, payroll, AI tax compliance, benefits, IT, global payroll. The first employee management platform that runs itself. At a certain point, the gap between what you've become and how you present yourself starts to work against you. So we rebuilt everything. The new brand is built around a tension we love: analog precision meets velocity. Technical, but warm. Engineered for performance, designed with soul. Think 1960s racing garage meets modern editorial design. It reflects how we build the product: obsessive attention to the details you never see. The invisible circuit boards are beautiful. We're just getting started. This is the next chapter.

You will live in the AI slop apartment. Your clothes washer will be under your kitchen sink. You have no dryer. There's wood paneling on the walls for some reason. You will smile at the candle that is burning 4 inches away from your 24 foot tall curtains. You pay $20,000/mo and can't access the stairs up to your shitty loft bedroom. There is no bathroom. You will be happy.

LOL Trevor Milton is raising $1B at a $4B valuation for an autonomous jet (consumer and military), says the most wealthy people in the world say “we can trust you now” because of the Trump pardon, and Trump affiliates are helping him. Good luck! wsj.com/business/trevo…

We raised a $27M Series A to replace the spreadsheets and human duct tape behind $100 trillion in global assets. Fund administration is the invisible backbone of private equity and venture capital - and it’s broken. Why? Financial data is scattered, stale, and locked inside legacy providers. Books take forever to close. Basic questions about your own fund take days to answer. So we rebuilt the general ledger, waterfall engine, investor portal, and portfolio management from scratch. One single source of truth for your firm. Our AI agents read emails, propose journal entries, and extract portfolio updates in seconds. Our CPAs review every output. Today, we administer $15 billion in assets - and we’re just getting started. Every fund CFO keeps getting asked: how will you adopt AI? Now you have an answer. Run your firm in real-time with @hanoverpark. –- Excited to partner with Jake Saper at @emergencecap @peterjhebert at Lux, @chadbyers/@pratyushbuddiga at Susa and CFOs at the largest private equity firms to forge this future.
