Every CS/sales leader I talk to loses like an hour per call in followup busywork (notes, CRM updates, emails to customers, team messages). It's brutal
Joe Schmitt (SVP Customer support at @OnUpKeep) has got that down to only 5 minutes using @vybe_build
We're hosting a small event (Feb 4 in SF) where he'll show you how he did it (and you build the same for free). Join us!

Excited to share our new partnership with Alibaba, the world’s largest B2B marketplace.
Thank you Spencer from Bloomberg for covering our story.
This milestone is especially close to my heart. My parents have run a toy wholesale business in São Paulo, Brazil for more than three decades. Since I was 6 years old, I was helping them organize paperwork, manage products, handle the cashier, and order inventory from China. I grew up living the very challenges that small business owners face -- balancing day-to-day operations with the seasonality, exchange rates, customs, and shipping timelines that can make or break a business.
During the pandemic, when my parents could no longer fly directly to China to source inventory from factories, they turned to platforms like Alibaba. Fast forward to today, I’ve had the privilege of going to Stanford, studying AI with amazing professors like Andrew Ng, and building a company focused on solving the exact pain points my parents struggled with -- now in partnership with the very platform they depend on.
Because I’ve been in their shoes, I’ve poured my heart into building tools that help businesses get approved for financing when traditional lenders would say no. Just last week at Alibaba’s CoCreate, I heard these same struggles firsthand from hundreds of buyers navigating tariffs and working capital challenges.
Especially in this tough tariff environment, it’s an honor to stand beside these businesses when they need us most and to bring this vision to life together with our partners at Alibaba.

Following AirDesk, we delved into various ideas (founder mortgages, stock options, foreclosure simplification, etc.). Our customer research led us to early investors like @ericwu01 and @ryanchanupkeep. When we were exploring what could be our 5th idea, I recalled the challenges of moving B2B payments online with outdated solutions while working in my parents' wholesale toy shop.
