Update: . Circle is now profitable and on track for $50M+ ARR by EOY. We just had our best month ever with 100% annualized growth and $200K+ in free cash flow đź’¸. (And what's crazy is our monthly growth continues to accelerate.). NGL: Getting to this milestone wasn't easy.

Circle growth rates after hitting $1m ARR EOY 2020:.2021 - 4x.2022 - 2x.2023 - 2x run-rate. Goal now is to get profitable while growing as fast as we can next year. Nothing beats default alive.

If you have a good understanding of your customers, your team, and what the world needs right now, you’re in good shape. Just keep building.

Something I've come to believe:. Most "AI mandate" memos from brilliant CEOs feel kinda vague and miss the point. They nail the why and the urgency. But the actual steps rarely seem to go beyond a simplistic mandate telling their workforce to "adopt AI.". To me, it doesn't feel

This past weekend, I hosted three of my favorite founder friends in Mayakoba, Mexico for a sensemaking retreat. The idea was to gather a few of my most curious friends and spend three entire days in conversation on entrepreneurship, philosophy, AI, family, community, culture,

Balance is relative to every person, but if a founder brags about the fact that they’re “not at all present for their family, and they have no friends, and are going to screw over everyone who gets in their way,” I’d also assume they’re not serious about winning.

The biggest lesson I've learned in the past couple years is to put the blinders on and just build. The macro's gonna macro, but as a builder, your dharma is to build. Ignore the hysterics, naysayers, cynics, critics, singularitists, doomers, etc.

“Against the Odds,” the autobiography of the founder of Dyson, is one of the best business books I’ve ever read. James Dyson figured out how to build a much better vacuum cleaner, got it into half of all British homes, and still owns 100% of a business that makes $1.5B+/year in

I’m starting a new company: I’ll be sharing more about it in the coming weeks, but today I wanted to show gratitude to the life situation that made this possible: contracting for a flexible remote startup — @gumroad. It wouldn’t have happened without it.
