It took us two years to grow from $10 mm to $100 mm in Annual Recurring Revenue and 15 months to reach $200 mm. Nine months later, we crossed $300 mm. Vanta’s growth rate increased each of the past four quarters – compounding really is the eighth wonder of the world!
“But wait,” you might be thinking. “How does a software company founded before 2022 *increase* its growth rate?” Narrative violation!

Three cities. Zero incidents.
They turned on two cities overnight. Tesla is hiring in 34 cities. 12 new states by year end.
The switch is getting flipped. Is your curb ready? 🏁

In 1913, only 1% of households filed income tax
Now, 100% do.
Every time a tax scheme is created, it starts with "just the rich" and quickly applies to everyone.
Every time.
California will seize assets of every citizen if this passes.
Not income, assets. Your house. Your furniture.
This would end the Golden State.

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

Autonomy is going to create a huge opportunity for retail
we incubated @goautolane, which is building air traffic control for parking lot chaos
Well worth following their progress
They’re working with all autonomy players
Autolane@goautolane
Autonomous delivery at $2 with no tip is not a product improvement. It is a category collapse. The QSRs, grocery stores, and retailers who get on the right infrastructure now will not just survive this shift. They will own it. 👉 goautolane.com #AutonomousCommerce

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities.
You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free.
I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded.
It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇
Numbers don't lie, but criminals do.

"Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens."
Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York:
"Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment."
"When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas."

There's a reason why the advertising on @twistartups has been sold out for 15 years straight and 2,200+ episodes -- it works (and we price it slightly under market to create long-term partnerships)
Thanks @trustvanta for the long-term support 🥰

A Seattle judge said we couldn't show the faces of the 33 Antifa & anti-Israel radicals who caused over $1 million in damage to the brand new engineering building at UW in May.
So here are their faces & names: Tayler Hart, Max Rulff, Zachary Wallaced-Wells, Jade Wu, Jessica Schutz, Luisa Ortega Subdiaz, Ginger Newberry, Kimaya Mahajan, Gina Liu, Lea Keating, Akira Junyaprusert, Anna Hattle, Julia Fraczek, Cade Jackson, Jonas Piper, Ty Park, Lucy Zern, Tasbeet Iman, Ricardo Colon-Galvez, Roberta Collison, Ella Tunduwani, Zainab Chattha, Riley Centerwall, Catherine Brown, Brett Anton, Claire Berger, Yasmin Ahmed, Yafate Yared, Geneveve Konijisky, Finn Brown, Bailey Keen, Lucas Nichols-Mcauslan and Sam Sueoka.
It was all a matter of public record long before the judge made the ruling. KOMO News made this handy collage. Please share

At @TechNYC, we believe New York is one of the best places in the world to live and build a company. That's why we're leading the push to protect it.
Founders and investors are deeply concerned about the State Legislature’s current effort to eliminate the QSBS exclusion. If you share these concerns, join the hundreds already standing with us. Add your name here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
nihal@nihalmehta
New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction. As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab. If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Keep building, NYC 🗽
