Announcing our $4M seed round with participation from @ycombinator, @amino_capital, @zillionize, @10xFounders, and many more. We're excited to continue building a global payments & payroll platform that's simple, affordable, and effective. Coverage by VentureBeat - venturebeat.com/virtual/ther…

When we began paying international team members at Sharma Brands, most “global payroll” platforms felt like more of the same, complicated interfaces, long payout times, and “support” that meant waiting on a ticket. Then we tried @getthera and we haven’t looked back. Thera isn’t just payroll; it’s an ecosystem of tools built for modern businesses. Think global payroll, treasury, spend management, and invoicing all under one platform. Their approach means you can hire in 150 countries, pay contractors in 135 currencies, and even handle US payroll and expenses in one place. A few things that set Thera apart for us: White-glove support: instead of endless email threads, Thera gives you a dedicated Slack channel. Their team is fast and helpful, and I’ve literally seen the founder jump in to answer questions. Cost effectiveness: pricing starts as low as $10 per employee per month, with contractors from $30/mo, and there are no hidden fees. Our finance team ran the numbers, and we’re saving significantly compared with other providers. Best FX rates & instant payouts: contractors can withdraw in 150 currencies using five different payout methods, and Thera offers some of the best exchange rates we’ve seen. 95 % of payrolls arrive the same day, which our team loves. Month-to-month flexibility: you don’t get locked into long contracts — you stay because it’s working. Thera has been a game‑changer for us. It’s wild that more founders aren’t talking about them. If you’re hiring globally or looking to upgrade your finance stack, you should seriously check them out.

I love hosting fireside chats consistently.

We all know that sales is hard, and it is also something we can't outsource, especially when you are an early-stage founder! For the next fireside chat @getthera, Mike Pinkel is joining us to talk about how to master founder-led sales motion. Mike has scaled sales at Coursera from $3M → $180M ARR and now coaches founders on how to pitch, persuade, and close. 👉 Date/time: Sept 5th, 1PM ET 👉 RSVP: link below

Too many great founders build in silence. You’re shipping product, talking to users, raising money but no one sees the momentum. That’s where a newsletter changes everything. It’s not just a distribution channel. It’s a relationship builder. A trust accelerator. A way to scale you before your product is ready. Tomorrow @aleckrem(Partnerships Lead from @beehiiv) is joining us for a live workshop on why newsletters are still a founder’s secret weapon in 2025. Join to see real-world examples and learn all his secrets. RSVP: lu.ma/dxh8n2bm

RT @akhilred_: February was our biggest month yet—and we’re just getting started. A few learnings: 1️⃣ Platform fatigue is real. Companie…

I'm officially an adult. And no, I didn't just get Bar Mitzvahed. I set up an actual payroll system for my team for the first time. For the last 2 years, I've been managing freelancers via a mix of Wise, Stripe, and random wire transfers and shady hand-offs in the park. For a creator memelord business school dropout like me, it was a nightmare.(My accountant was also quite mad at me, but not as mad that I put all my money in Fartcoin) So yes I am OFFICIALLY AN ADULT BUSINESSMAN Shout out to my friends over at @getthera for hooking me up getthera.com/
