1/ “What important truth do very few people agree with you on?” Peter Thiel’s famous question. At Check, our founding answer was that payroll today is fundamentally broken for a huge number of businesses.

Video gives me goosebumps. Also: if you’re a soon-to-be founder looking for the right idea you should 100% do this.

In the first 9 days of the year Check grew more than we did in all of January last year! 📈

@jasonlk Flexibility. Check is infrastructure you build on, that has been built for this purpose from day one. Our competitors are typically traditional payroll companies attempting to distribute white-label products or, best case, slowly externalizing infra not meant for this purpose

@almostabc what's your #1 killer feature vs. competition?

$4.1 billion. That's how much payroll Check processed on behalf of our partners in 2024. For context, that's 3x more than our nearest competitor — Gusto Embedded — has processed in their entire almost four year history. And we're just getting started. checkhq.com/2024-year-in-r…

5/ Today, we’re excited to unveil a completely reimagined Check, with a new look and a renewed focus on the incredible stories of our 65 platform partners. Embedded payroll is the future. checkhq.com/resources/blog…

4/ Our partners are leading that movement, powering payroll for the businesses that keep our world running: Construction workers, plumbers, electricians, daycares, auto shops, farms, restaurants, healthcare providers, Main Street retailers, and so many more.

Embedded payroll is the future 🔥

The only two non-AI opportunities Bessemer calls out for vSaaS companies in their State of the Cloud 2024 report released today are: 1. Payments (those guys at Stripe might be onto something) 2. Payroll!🚀🚀🚀

3. Everyone knows fintech is big, but people are sleeping on employee management. I see this in Check's partners. The platforms who help manage their customers' teams are absolutely crushing it.

The Tidemark 2024 Vertical & SMB SaaS benchmarking report is required reading for founders building in this space. Here are my top 3 takeaways 🧵

I’ve been building companies from nothing with @ericstromberg and @vanlancker for more than a decade now. As an early stage founder you won’t find a better partner than Terrain. Congrats on the public unveiling guys!

Today marks half a decade of powering payroll for our partners! The platforms they've built are paying hundreds of thousands of employees across tens of thousands of businesses. We’re excited to continue growing together in the decades to come.

Big day for Check!

@TheManMikeTan @davelyuan @glossgenius @check_hq @tidemarkcap Congrats Michael!
