I share updates with @GustoHQ investors on a regular basis, and I wanted to publicly share my most recent update (which includes the $1b revenue milestone). It’s the most amazing time of my life to be a builder, and I pinch myself every day thinking about what’s now possible for us to do, in service of our mission. We’re here to help small businesses, and if you’re interested in our mission, please reach out! Either to partner, or join the journey.

“Clarity is kindness,” said @GustoHQ CEO @joshuareeves. “The clearer, the better. We’re much higher on ARR now, we’re accelerating growth, and we’re happy with that trajectory.” bit.ly/4d97mM3

Our mission at @GustoHQ is to grow the small business economy with technology and heart. We are deeply grateful to all the work small businesses do every day in communities everywhere, and we are committed to being their partner, taking hats off their head, delivering them peace of mind, and giving them superpowers, so they can progress their business. @agarfinks from @FortuneMagazine has been following Gusto for a long time, and we recently shared with her some milestones in our journey of building Gusto (including passing $1b of revenue). These are still the early days of what’s possible. We are building Gusto for the long term, and when small businesses succeed, we succeed.
