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.

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.

Circle was just featured in CBS’ Economy 4.0!

“In short, there is a need for community, and I think content, whether it be an essay, a podcast, or a video, can be artifacts around which communities can form and sustain themselves, ultimately to the economic benefit of the content creator. There is, admittedly, a lot to.

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,

“Some people charged toward the goal, running for all they had. Others stumbled. But it wasn't the speed that mattered. It was the direction they were going.”.— Brandon Sanderson.

Circle finally has a desktop app!

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
