Hi everyone! I don’t share too often on here, but we’re at a very exciting moment at AptDeco, and I wanted to let you all in on it. AptDeco opened a community investment round and the response has been incredible. We’ve raised over $2M so far from institutional investors, customers and supporters. Nothing is more validating than customers doubling down with their own capital. And now, I’m inviting you, my network, to be part of our journey. When we started AptDeco, we set out to make buying and selling furniture easier. Over the years, many of our competitors have come and gone, but AptDeco continues to thrive. Why? Our technology, logistics and branding continues to set us apart and that's why major retailers including West Elm, Pottery Barn, La-Z-Boy, Article and 30+ more have partnered with us. The beauty with this investment round is that anyone can be an investor. Learn more and invest directly at wefunder.com/AptDeco.

I'm thrilled and immensely proud to share that Jackpocket is now officially part of the DraftKings Inc. family. The entrepreneurial journey is often seen as glamorous, but in reality, it's a challenging path filled with anxiety and moments of solitude. When I encounter new entrepreneurs confidently presenting their impressive progress, I often take a moment to ask about their mental well-being. This journey isn't for everyone, but the key to navigating it successfully is surrounding yourself with incredible people. Attributes like creativity, persistence, a thirst for knowledge, and a sense of ownership among team members are crucial for success. However, what I've truly learned is that having genuinely good people to work with is the most significant factor. I owe this achievement to our loyal, dedicated, and kindhearted team who overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to make this happen. This also includes our amazing investors, external vendors and ever-supportive board of directors. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your commitment to this audacious vision. In building our team,  we've always prioritized setting egos aside, recognizing that we're all just individuals navigating the complexities of life. While we spend much of our adult lives immersed in our careers, I can honestly say that I've forged some of the strongest, lifelong friendships through Jackpocket. My high school principal used to say, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life,” a phrase that once seemed corny but now resonates deeply. Over the past months, I've had the pleasure of getting to know the incredible team at DraftKings, and I’ve never been more excited about Jackpocket’s future and the opportunity to join a powerhouse like DraftKings. I've come to truly admire their leader, Jason Robins, and I’m eager to learn from him and his team and embark on this journey together. The joke ends here: I guess it takes 11 years to create an “overnight success.” Here’s to the next decade of innovation, teamwork, and overcoming the unfeasible.

Today marks Recharge’s 10th anniversary. There’s a lot to celebrate with this moment, and 2024 was a banner year, surpassing $100 million in ARR, powering 20,000 merchants and topping 100 million subscribers served by our platform. But I also want to be real for a second. The last ten years haven’t been easy but two things have kept me focused and made the highs even better, and pushed me to persevere during the lows. 1. “From humble beginnings come great things.” This quote has been with us since the earliest days of Recharge and it’s with us today. We never lose sight of the fact that we are always at the beginning of something great, and bigger than we know. 2. Focusing on helping the lives of merchants. Our mission of making the lives of everyone that we serve at Recharge better is why I get up in the morning ready to solve new problems. There’s no doubt that our merchant-first mission has enabled us to scale and hit those exciting milestones. We started Recharge because we saw an opportunity and a need in the ecommerce space. Looking back, I don’t think we could have predicted how much growth, change, and excitement would come over the course of a decade. I’m grateful to everyone who’s been part of the Recharge journey. We could not have made it to year 10 without the hard work of our team, the trust of the brands we work with, and the collaboration from our ecosystem partners. Reflecting on the past 10 years is what energizes me to plan for the next 10. So, here’s to tomorrow.

In my 4+ years in the dYdX ecosystem, I’ve consistently admired the team's ability to innovate on emerging technologies and scale billion+ (and in one case, trillion+) dollar products—while strategically sunsetting old versions to focus on 10x larger opportunities. Solo - L1 Spot & Margin Trading: https://lnkd.in/e36dudcx L1 Perps: https://lnkd.in/eUUQPQrt V3 - L2 Perps: https://lnkd.in/eWudVbW7 “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”—and this requires a strong product vision and technical prowess to embrace tech that improves exponentially. The dYdX Chain, launched 1 year ago, has already generated $250B in volume, $50M in USDC protocol fees distributed to stakers and validators, and onboarded 20K traders. Still not the biggest exchange yet, but it's getting there. And if anything, it's a major step toward achieving the goal of democratizing access to financial opportunities. dYdX Unlimited launched this week which unlocked the next stage of growth with Instant Market Listings, Megavault, an affiliate program, and much more. All code is fully open-sourced and run by 60 independent validators, running the network in a permissionless manner.

Alright, let’s get real about Melio. They just snagged $150M in fresh Series E cash, pushing their valuation to a sleek $2 billion—and they’re making it look way too easy. This NYC-based powerhouse isn’t just here to help small businesses; they’re here to rewrite the rules on B2B payments. Big congrats to Matan Bar, Ilan Atias, and Tomer Barel, who’ve built a platform that’s got everyone from Fiserv to Shopify Ventures dialing in to join the revolution. Now, Melio isn’t peddling some “pay-later” gimmick. This is the real deal: a platform that integrates seamlessly with #QuickBooks, lets you pay with credit cards or ACH, and keeps cash flow smooth and friction-free. And they didn’t stop there. With a custom approval workflow feature that basically makes human error a thing of the past, Melio’s turning accounts payable into a no-mistakes zone. Just think: SMBs get the same slick automation big corporates enjoy, minus the headache. And yeah, the big investors aren’t sleeping on this. Accel, Bessemer Venture Partners, Coatue, General Catalyst — they’re all watching Melio carve out the future of B2B transactions right at the intersection of fintech and traditional banking. And with a move like integrating into Fiserv’s CashFlow Central℠, Melio isn’t just “in the conversation.” They are the conversation. Then there’s the partnership game: Melio’s playing at another level with Shopify and Capital One backing them up. These are deep connections, the kind of partnerships that don’t just give Melio a boost—they hand them access to a massive SMB customer base that’s already tuned in. It’s no wonder they’re raking in $100 million in ARR, with a revenue growth curve that’s practically vertical. Talk about product-market fit. Melio’s got serious plans to expand and keep fine-tuning their platform, all while looking for more big-name partnerships to lock down. So the real question isn’t if Melio’s going to dominate—it’s when they’ll become the new standard for SMB payments everywhere. You in, or are you just watching the wave go by? #Fintech #Banking #B2BPayments #Payments #PaymentsIntegration #Technology #Innovation #TechEcosystem #StartupEcosystem #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #SMB
