VC @SquarePegCap. Most of my views my own.
Joined April 2009
Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

Let’s go!
Exciting news! Amber has raised $29M in Series C funding to scale in Australia, launch our EV product & go global! Thanks to our lead investors @Gentrack and Rubio Impact, Alberts, and Startmate who are also investing in this round. https://t.co/pzoOAfaMdP

Ceasefire in place. Hamas breaks it. Refuses to give back hostages. And we call for further ceasefire. Give. Back. The. Hostages. Nothing else should matter to anyone who values life. Then let’s talk about what’s next.

100% Antisemitism has no place, and should not be tolerated anywhere. Not in our workplaces Not in our schools Not on our streets Unfortunately it’s everywhere. Time for everyone to stand up against it.

Platforms for community management suck. Until now. Wulfie Bain and Jack Symonds are awesome humans on a mission to create more meaningful communities and connections. Lounge is the answer.
Over a quarter of a million people have already used Lounge. We're incredibly excited about Jack Symonds and Wulfie Bain's vision, and the team and product they are building. For more, see 👇 #tech #startups #founders #community @dkras @FlintCasey

A great listen.
How are Israeli founders handling running a company, serving their country and dealing with trauma all at once? @PaulBassat asked them, and they were so candid, thoughtful and inspiring in their answers 🙌🏼 @urielkn @itaizlot @SquarePegCap

Hamas doesn't care one bit about Palestinians. You can be Pro-Palestinians, but you can't be Pro-Hamas if you are pro-Humanity. Pro-Hamas is Pro-Terrorism, Pro-Hate, Anti-Israel, Anti-Palestinian, Anti-Peace and Anti-Semitic.
this is Hamas. "when you built the 500km of tunnels, why didn't you build bomb shelters for the civilians?" "that's the responsibility of the UN to protect the civilians" #HamasislSIS

If this is real you can add another disgusting act to the long list of disgusting acts we’ve seen around the world. The loss of innocent lives on both sides is awful. Only one side celebrates it. Truly horrendous.
This is real: Turkish Airlines 'Martyr Discount' Generating Fire Amidst Israel-Hamas War

It’s been said but it can’t be said enough. Israel isn’t fighting a war against Palestinians. They are fighting a war against Hamas. A terrorist organisation that cares only about killing, raping, massacring Jews and cares nothing at all about protecting Palestinians

The news continues to flow out of Israel and it continues to be absolutely horrendous, abhorrent and incomprehensible. There is no justification. There is no "yes it's bad, but..." There are no excuses. This is not freedom fighting. This is terrorism and pure evil at its core.

More great news for Aussie founders. Early stage capital from great minds and even better people. @bengrabiner is a jet, and @mkahlbetzer has been around since before Aussie VC was a thing
Today, I'm excited to share that we’ve done the first close of @SidestageVC Fund 1 and quietly made our first 3 investments from the fund.

So good to have @jamestynan join the partnership! He is smart, thoughtful, values driven, admired by founders and his peers and is going to continue to be a big part of Aussie VC and Aussie tech! So excited to see what comes from here my man!
Some news: I'm now a partner at @SquarePegCap. Feels amazing to have the endorsement of this great team. Taking a moment to enjoy the milestone and remember my first Square Peg investment in @itsjustvow (cue goofy pic)
