On the CA fires, and ***REBUILDING*** I'm not a Blue Check but hopefully this post will be amplified by others with more reach. The screenshots I'm sharing are from a former boss and friend of mine whose home was lost to a fire a few years ago. He's giving great advice:

@joelshansen @stephsmithio I’m down!

@stephsmithio Count me in. @RisoNatalie you down to join?

Just dropped down in Canada for the first time in two years! 🇨🇦 Good to be home. Torontonians, who’s at Collision today? And who wants to come to a meetup I’m running tomorrow? 😊

@makeitjain_ @mercury Appreciate the kind words! The founders in our community is what makes it great.

I've really enjoyed meeting and learning with other founders in @mercury's founder community. Highly recommend it to those considering it. Special shoutout to @RisoNatalie for running amazing sessions and providing awesome insight!

@mauraball Yes. LinkedIn actually launched new rules around this for 2024 and significantly cut down on the number of custom invites you can send each month.

I tried to connect with someone on Linkedin using a note and got this...is this happening to anyone else!?

Sourcing is one of THE hardest things in VC. What are some unique ways to find preseed and seed companies? Please share! One way I like is to reach out to well-connected students on college campuses.

Prepping for @Mecury’s first board meeting of the year this week and reflecting on 2023. Feeling thankful for the team's hard work and our customers' trust in us. In 2023 we: * Grew net revenues 180% YoY * Grew customers 60% YoY * Grew trx volume by 90% YoY to $95B in ‘23 * Grew team from 440 to 565, and planning 100+ more hires in ‘24 * Had 6 consecutive quarters of cash flow and EBITDA profitability @Mercury’s growing, we're profitable, and we’re continuously delivering great new products/features. Excited for 2024!

1/ Doing startups is hard! @mercury is my fourth startup, my first two startups failed and I continuously faced roadblocks along my startup journey. That’s why I’m excited to introduce the new Mercury Raise: one platform to help founders fundraise, network, and get answers.
