A few notes:
1/ Yes, we have enough rapid-tests for everyone on-site. But you'll save yourself 20-30 minutes of testing + waiting by bringing a test results from last 72 hours with you.
2/ Come TOMORROW Sunday for Day 0 AMA, register early, and meet some folks
3/ Dress comfy. Will be warm during the day but may be a bit chilly at night. Bring a sweatshirt but maybe short sleeves during day.
4/ Very festival style. Will be the most informal Annual in a while, being outdoors. Come to learn, but also just to have fun.
I had a chance to catch up with René Lacerte, CEO of $27B+ @billcom this week
Bill has managed to build a $27B business selling to 120k SMBs
With an epic 125% NRR
My 10 learnings and our convo here: 🔽🔽🔽
#1. You can’t rush a network
Bill.com had to develop a network that today has millions on vendors processing bills and payments on it. But they couldn’t rush it. So they let folks use the platform the way they wanted, from paper checks to fax and more.
#2. You can’t always rush a fintech product.
It took a decade to come together. Rene cautioned folks to understand the regulatory & fraud elements of doing payments are significant. But it paid off.
Since IPO, payments have grown to a stunning 50% of Bill’s revenues
