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.

Me as a 16 year-old kid in NZ: All I want is to work for an American startup. The role/comp doesn’t matter. Me, today: A startup w/ a team and investors I love. A beautiful wife and a 6 year old. U.S. citizenship. Nearly *everything* in life is a bonus I couldn’t have imagined!

I’m starting a new company: circle.so! 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.

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,

We’ve grown Circle from 0 to $20m+ ARR in 4 years. Our last financing was at a $250m valuation a year ago, and we’ve nearly doubled all our metrics in the past year. People often ask me how much Circle is worth today. After talking to some of the world’s most successful

Circle started the year as a 40 person team and we're ending it as a 100 person team spread across 30+ countries, serving thousands of thriving communities and millions of members. Thinking about what the Internet enables never ceases to blow my mind.
