Earlier this year, we launched bulk requests for W-9s so founders can streamline their tax document collection. Customers loved it and asked for more, and 1099s is our answer https://t.co/K7jUrxRGk7
Tax document collection for your business just got much easier w/ @mercury Our customers love requesting W9s via Mercury, so we're adding the ability to: 1) request tax docs in bulk with a few checkboxes 2) download the extracted data as a CSV 3) download all in a .zip

You can just do things
Insane story coming out of the Dublin Marathon today. 19 y/o Ava Crean from Limerick won the women's race in 2:34:12, 6th overall. The first Irish woman to win the race since 2013. She trained for only FOUR months and had never run competitively before the Manchester

Weird thing no one tells you about raising money I knew salespeople would have fundraising alerts on and start selling me stuff, but I didn't realize how much free stuff from banks you get when you have $3M. I've gotten offered: - an EightSleep and NYC billboard by 4 separate

When trying to grow a feature, use multiple channels *at the same time* to reach your customers (ex: email + in-product, billboard + digital) I've run a lot of experiments, and the impact from 2+ channels is greater than each individual channel summed - a tipping effect happens

That’s a lot of confetti! https://t.co/i0NFxIa8KN
One thing we think a lot about @mercury: products are better when they have some fun in them When a founder closes a SAFE and the investment lands, we might not be there to high-five and congratulate everyone but we’ll definitely bring the confetti (s/o @jdsimcoe @ShakedRotem)

Founders have loved how seamless it is to do SAFE signing and funding in one place Some highlights so far: - Median check size of $20k! Lots of small rounds - Some of the best pre-seed & seed investors like @sequoia , @pioneer_fund , @CRV and more - One company raised >$9M!

How it started: our team had just written a profile on Carolynn Levy – the creator of the SAFE – and we were thinking about how tools unlock people to do more YC had invented it, but no one had yet solved the annoyance of signing / sharing bank accounts https://t.co/NVUsAhVXoM
My first ever “venture” round was a $500k raise at $2m valuation. It cost $35k in legal fees! We just launched ability to do SAFE for free using your Mercury bank account. It’s smooth too, every SAFE gets a new account number, no more wondering which investor sent the $10k.
