I miss you already. You’ve been an amazing partner and friend. You’re one of the only reasons I’d ever tweet.
In summary, thank you to the entire @BessemerVP team for giving me this opportunity and then putting up with me for all of these years! I hope to make everyone at the firm proud as I step into my new role as Bessemer alum. 13/13

Cloud valuations are. not great. And they were never a great way to measure the health of the Cloud anyway. That’s why in this year's report we’re introducing the Centaur (or maybe Cent-ARR?), a new club for $100M ARR SaaS businesses. @BessemerVP

Chris you brought a maniacal focus on customer success that frankly wasn't like anything I'd ever seen from a software company. Congrats on this incredible day.

I’m in awe of this team's relentless obsession for improving every aspect of restaurant life. I didn't get everything right in our original memo, but one thing was spot on “We believe this is the best product team in the restaurant POS space.” It still is.
Congrats to the @Toasttab team on this milestone! When the founders moved into the empty office next to mine, I knew they were different. They ignored the conventional wisdom that restaurant tech was too hard - they just wanted to build something great.

And just like that, Toast is officially listed on the @NYSE. 🎉. We’re excited about this milestone, but this is only the beginning of our journey. Thank you to our customers -- you have guided, educated, and trusted us, and we look forward to our ongoing partnership. $TOST.
