It’s all in the name: 2000s: I’m a freelancer 2010s: I’m a solopreneur 2020s: I’m a creator

Bye (for now), Twitter friends! Cya on the other side 🧵🧵🧵

The market for creative tools grew 30% last year, from $30 billion in 2021 to over $40 billion in 2022. The rise of AI tools foreshadows even greater expansion within the Creative Economy in 2023. Let's break it down...

I love the fact that I can show you this box and you'll think of exactly ONE city in the world and your mouth will start watering, too.

Fantastic post by @lpolovets on the ARGO framework for startup survival: 💰 Acquire more cash ✂️ Reduce costs and push them back 🌱 Grow revenue and pull it forward ⏱️ Optimize operations Join the deep dive on this at the @stripe fireside tomorrow: stripe.events/building-b2b-s…

As a marketer, it was a no-brainer to place my bet on Emily, Kathleen, and @mkt1cap. Thrilled to be an LP in the first b2b marketer-led fund 🚀🚀🚀 LFG

On Mar 7, Susa Co-founder @lpolovets will join @stripe's @lokosbasilisk for a fireside chat to discuss what metrics VCs are looking at in B2B SaaS startups. If you’re fundraising for your seed or Series A, you won’t want to miss this! Register here👇 stripe.events/building-b2b-s…

The most important piece of advice I've learned to give to early-stage startup founders is to care for your users.

Pumped to be part of this fireside chat with the @stripe fam on 2/23! I’ll be talking about seed rounds, the ever-changing fundraising environment and more. Register here👇🏾stripe.events/howtoraiseasee…

@domoniquefines I’m so sorry to hear this, Dom. Thinking of you and your family! ❤️‍🩹

I haven’t slept since God knows when. I’ve never had to wash & care for my father like this & still worried about Grandma. I’m losing it over here. Send happy thoughts & well wishes.

The last 48hrs have been a shit show. My Dad & Grandma got into a serious car accident. I flew out 1st thing in the morning to New Orleans. Rode from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Went straight to the hospital to see Grandma (who already has Alzheimer’s).

I had a great time talking about product design at @SaaStrAnnual yesterday, and an even better time meeting with users and attendees at the @Stripe lounge. If you’re attending the show today, be sure to stop by. We always welcome questions and user feedback.

Who is attending @SaaStrAnnual next week (Sept 13-15)? Come hang with @Stripe at our Founders’ Lounge (booth 406), swing by the Stripe for Startups happy hour, or join our RaaS (Run-as-a-Service) 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ stripe.events/stripeatsaastr… stripe.events/raasatsaastran…

Join @stripe + @saastr for a great happy hour at SaaStr Nights at Annual on Sep 13! Sign up here -> stripehappyhouratsaastr.splashthat.com
