People trying to hate on @airwallex being a killer product and company….
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:

Took a call with a B2B enrichment vendor today. They asked how many employees we had and where we were located. Instant pass.

Curt Cignetti won a Big Ten title with a bunch of JMU transfers and 3 star recruits. Straight to the hall of fame.

But JMU isn’t “worthy” of CFP while Indiana has like 10 JMU transfers starting.
What Curt Cignetti has done in two years at Indiana is, no exaggeration, one of the most shocking coaching jobs in American sports history. The Indiana Hoosiers going 24-2 in football over a 26-game stretch is a stress test on our concepts of tangible reality.

Or without 14 transfers from @JMUFootball whose….
Culture and coaching matter, but Indiana doesn’t win this Big Ten title without NIL. This is good for college football.

The bull case for OpenAi is: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects the World's Nominal GDP to reach approximately $113.8 trillion in World GDP Breakdown 2025: $1.7 trillion is a rounding error if OpenAi has even a 1% economic impact in the the next decade.
For reference, the FT in October estimated OpenAI’s ARR at $13BN per internal sources, and Sam Altman subsequently said the company would end the year at $20BN in ARR.

Usage based has always been the way.
SCOOP: Stripe is paying $1B to acquire billing startup Metronome, sources tell @UpstartsMediaCo 👀 The move comes as part of an industry push toward usage-based pricing driven by AI leaders (and Metronome customers) like Anthropic, Nvidia and OpenAI. https://t.co/cxxTWZxWIH
