One of the best parts of Stripe is working with the world's most interesting businesses. Taking advantage of this, we're launching a podcast where we host founders and leaders for a cheeky pint in our hastily-constructed office pub. Coming soon: episodes with @gdb, Meta’s Susan Li, @kvogt, and @levelsio. Let me know if you have suggested interviewees. We'll likely include a bunch of interviews with people you've never heard of but whose business stories are fascinating.

This is the most zero BS thing I’ve read all year @geoffreyhinton 👏 As a founder, your core job is finding people with high agency and waking up the ones who don’t yet have it! Once you realise this, everything else gets a little easier.

First-principles thinking is rare, not because it’s hard, but because it’s uncomfortable. We’re designed to recognise and follow patterns; few dare to break them. Gen AI tools can reinforce this notion unless they're used very deliberately.

Protex AI, backed by Salesforce Ventures, just raised a $36 million Series B to help companies detect when workers aren’t wearing hard hats and engaging in other types of unsafe behavior. trib.al/lbB9Gr3 trib.al/lbB9Gr3

Yesterday we announced our $36M Series B to the world … but we’re only getting started. I’m looking for exceptional engineers to join us on our mission of making the world’s workplaces safer and smarter with AI. If this resonates pop me dm 📥

We've invested in Protex AI 🎉 Protex is revolutionizing workplace safety by transforming existing camera infrastructure into an smart, AI-powered monitoring system that can prevent workplace incidents. Congrats Dan, Ciaran, & the entire Protex team 👷 salesforceventures.com/perspectives/w…

@Thruthbetoldi The end game vision - to build an eco system that the right founder with the right idea can build a start up to win a market in Ireland 🇮🇪 to achieve this 100% a thoughtful holistic approach is needed!

@ciaran_omara what's the endgame vision? holistic approach needed beyond short-term fixes.

My coding flow state (yes I still code ... sometimes) comes so much easier when I'm listening to music ... and when it's super late🦉🌃 Some of my favourites to tappy tap to (~1hr of flow) 👇 open.spotify.com/playlist/4YhTo…

Practicality questionable, but still very much a big 🧠 move 🤯 Infinite cloud storage unlocked 🔓 github.com/DvorakDwarf/In… #YouTube

@tillmn8r @AfriNomad @NotionHQ @googledrive @HubSpot @MiroHQ @retool You can do it using templates works a treat 🙃 ✅ youtu.be/dLbBd-2W3so

@ciaran_omara @AfriNomad @NotionHQ @googledrive @HubSpot @MiroHQ @retool Yes to this last one! Being able to use self-referential filters for any property and not just the Name or Person property would be beyond huge! @NotionHQ

The aha moment you get when you learn how to design a @NotionHQ workspace as the single source of truth for (almost) everything, is similar to feeling you get when you see “Hello World” printed in your terminal for the first time 🤌🔓

@AfriNomad @NotionHQ @googledrive @HubSpot @MiroHQ @retool @NotionHQ Feature Request ✨ If a database filter could auto-select the page you're on for a relation property similar to how the 'Me' filter works for a person property, then a whole new world of functionality would be unleashed! (8/8)
