Bessemer owned 26% of Shopify at IPO. They’d led the 2010 Series A at a $20M pre. At the time the company was at a $5.5M run rate & profitable 🤯 They had modeled the best-case scenario as a $400M exit. Shopify is worth $140B today!

Vibe coding will change the world With the rise of iPhone photography, everyone became a photographer We 100xed the number of pictures taken through an average week (vs 50 years ago) Whether they are good or bad is secondary, the ability to just capture and make a “picture”
