An exciting life update: I have left Meta Superintelligence Labs and joined @whop. Today marks the end of an unbelievable chapter. I first joined Meta 12 years ago, when I was only 17 years old. I basically grew up inside the company. I learned to build, to lead, and to work

Today, Ramp raised another $300M at a $32B valuation. In the past year our revenue has doubled to over $1B, growing 10x faster than the median public SaaS. We all know money talks — we're teaching it to think. Getting big no longer means getting slow.

Roelof has been one of the most influential people in my life. Grateful to @roelofbotha for believing in and helping me build @Xoom and @Eventbrite. Congratulations on your phenomenal stewardship at Sequoia and to all that’s ahead, my friend.
