A business update for those who’ve asked: - Yes, we will blow past the $50M ARR milestone soon. - We’re on track for our best quarter ever by a stretch, with more free cash flow every month than we can wisely reinvest. - We’re now operating at a rule of 40 of 64, up from 45
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 💸 (And what's crazy is our monthly growth continues to accelerate.) NGL: Getting to this milestone wasn't easy.

It's one of those fun and vibey days at Circle today! We're excited to announce Circle Connect: our way of helping members form true connections in communities. The Internet used to be about making true connections... But somewhere along the way, we've started to lose that.

Whatever it is, there's a Circle for that. In case you missed it, we took over Times Square this week for a campaign featuring Circle creators like Ali Abdaal, Codecademy, Entreprenista, Mila Clarke, Jay Clouse, Pat Flynn, The Running Channel, and TroopHR! From run clubs to

14 years ago, I made my first ever trip to New York City as a tourist from New Zealand. After a month of walking every inch of this city while blasting Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind”, the city started to seep into my soul. A day before I was supposed to fly back to New Zealand,

Some sources of alpha that require no real skill: - having longer time horizons than others - being much more focused or much more bundled - believing the consensus thing harder than others - placing no value on status

Just got back from our 9th offsite in stunning Cascais, Portugal 🇵🇹 This was a week I couldn’t dream up even if I tried, for a few reasons: 1) Portugal is the birth place of Circle and where we committed to starting the company almost 6 years ago 2) The team is now 200+ people

one of my favorite nyc-based startups that has grown up a lot yet still under the radar: Circle, a company that brings community-as-a-service to any brand or creator that wishes to bring their customers together and enable connectivity with all the mgmt features you need 💥

Nobody talks enough about @circleapp. Probably because they’ve built a product that isn’t for “Silicon Valley” but it’s become an incredible business now at $50m ARR. And they haven’t raised a single dollar in years.

In 20VC Fund I we had so many "bangers" at the time that fell as fast as they rose. Then there is the quiet ones. The ones building sustainable value, quietly, without the headlines. Circle @sidyadav now at $50M ARR. Linear @karrisaarinen Captions @gmharhar Nex Health

Hosted a hackathon last week for a new product we’re building at Circle. As we grow past 200, I have to remind myself that scale doesn't build great products. Small teams with clarity and energy do.

P.S. My favorite part of the episode is a spotlight on a special Circle customer: @neuranne. Fun backstory: In 2020, my co-founders and I personally onboarded Anne-Laure to Circle, and built much of the initial product thanks to the feedback from her and our beta customers.

From the early days @circleapp has relentlessly shipped great feature updates...today is no different. Big congrats to @sidyadav + team for launching a native website builder. This is a big one!
Today, we complete Circle’s stack with the launch of our own website builder. A quick backstory: When we started Circle, my co-founders Rudy, Andy, and I would often talk about how most websites for creators and digital products felt disconnected from what they actually sold.

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
