I’m thrilled to share that @numeral has raised a $35M Series B, led by Mayfield, at a $350M valuation! Turns out, sales tax and VAT have gotten so complex that we need AI and millions of dollars in VC funding to make it simple again. This brings us to $57M in funding, including

I love that governments looked at marketplaces and said, “Yeah, we should all call these something completely different so nobody understands anything.” - In the U.S., you’re a Marketplace Facilitator. - In Canada, you turn into a Digital Platform Operator. - Australia promotes

green flags in CPAs (the ones who keep founders alive): - opens a state DOR letter with the same calm focus as a bomb technician - bookmarks every sales tax bulletin since 2018 like they’re reading lore - can tell you which states still require paper checks without looking it up

.@Shopify merchants did $14.6B (up 27% YoY) over BFCM this year. More than 94,000 merchants had their best day ever. Here are a few more numbers I found interesting: 1) Consumers stayed disciplined The average cart was $114.70 and the top categories were cosmetics, activewear,

9 other states impose a sales tax on groceries. If you’re reading this, and you’re in Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, South Dakota, or Utah, you’re footing the bill too.

Michael Jordan's 1991 championship triggered a tax that now costs athletes millions every year. Let me explain... June 1991. The Chicago Bulls just beat the LA Lakers in the Finals. MJ drops 30 points, wins his first championship, and gets named MVP. California's response?
