My brother @nicholasychen and I recorded and posted our first Christmas song TEN years ago. 😳 Things look really different now (my baby is somewhere behind the scenes), but we somehow managed to keep up the tradition this year. Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!! 🎄🥳

@noahchestnut @pico @Hype_kit Still eager to work with forward-thinking newsrooms! We’re future-proofing all kinds of small businesses — newsrooms included. TBD if the industry is ready to embrace the change. Real risk today to those who bet solely on Facebook, email, and article paywalls as their strategy.

So... about a month ago @pico raised $10m and rebranded as @Hype_kit with a focus more on creators > publishers hype.co/blog/company/h…
One hand: Congrats!
Other hand: some amazing local newsrooms relied on Pico to handle payments & subs. Will Hype's roadmap fit their needs?

@JackMarshall @noahchestnut @pico @Hype_kit @joinlede Our publisher tools are alive and well! Would argue we still offer the most sophisticated popup and paywall configuration a newsroom can find for their money. Rolling out a new checkout experience for publishers this week, in fact. And still serving many clients with BlueLena.

Subscription boxes are considered a startup graveyard now.
Blue Apron: $2bn -> $47m
Winc filed for Chapter 11
Birchbox stopped fulfilling orders
What are subscription box biz’s actually crushing it OR ideas you think could crush it?

We’re thrilled to hype our investment in Hype, the virtual business manager for audience-first entrepreneurs. The creator economy and the small business economy are converging and Hype powers growth both IRL and URL. Congrats @nicholasychen!

My brother @nicholasychen's company just rebranded and raised $10 mil. Meanwhile, I've cleared out all work emails that piled up during our family vacation. One of us has been more productive this week.
Also, creators, check it out.

With the launch of our new App Marketplace, we’re prepared to help creators of all types customize the business platform experience that works best for them — and in doing so, we’ll have a front row seat to the evolution of the Creator Economy into the new Small Business Economy.

Insanely proud of the @pico team for taking us one giant step into the future with this latest release.

Welcome to my absolutely unhinged internal monologue. This is either (a) the most ridiculous feature name ever, (b) incredibly effective product marketing, or really… it’s (b) because of (a) 🙃 #apple #iphone14pro #dynamicisland #loveisland
