After ~a year of soul searching and questioning, today we announce that we sold Postmark and DMARC Digests to @ActiveCampaign. For some of you reading, this will come as quite the surprise... → wildbit.com/blog/postmark-ha…
Hello 👋
Did you know we have a newsletter about building and growing #peoplefirst businesses?
It lands in your inbox on the last Wednesday of each month, which in February is... less than 48 hours from now! Take a look. We'd love to have you 💚
wildbit.com/newsletter
We had a wonderful conversation with @randfish yesterday—and he gave us a deep, insightful definition of what makes a company people-first.
Thank you to our panelists Rand, @natalienagele, @meladorri, and all of you who joined us live and asked questions 💚
What questions do you have for two company founders who like to work hard & rest hard, and who run successful companies without subscribing to the idea of 'growth at all costs'?
Ask them here!
When we heard @randfish talk about *chill work*, it reminded us of how we talk about *deep work*.
We wanted to hear more, so we invited him to have a follow-up chat on Feb 9.

The teams at Wildbit, @buffer, @Awin_Global, and @twg_wanderlust all work a 4-day workweek.
Here are a few things we learned after months (or, in our case, 5 years) of implementing it: 🧵
💡 3. People innovate and find smarter and more efficient ways to work
✨ 4. The shorter workweek is a huge selling point for attracting and retaining top talent
It’s official:
Bolt is now the first tech unicorn to permanently switch to a 4 day work week 🚀⚡️🔥
Our 3 month experiment proved every core thesis:
Heightened
1/ Productivity
2/ Engagement
3/ Wellness
We’re never going back and here’s why 👇
