At @slopepay, we’re excited to announce our $30M round led by @USV with major participation from @sama - bringing our total equity/debt funding to $187M. Since launching in Aug ‘21, we are over 8 figures in ARR and are a lean team of 18. In the midst of this excitement, I wanted to share color on what it took to get to where we are. A 🧵

I believe the best opportunities are never obvious at first... Here's a blog post I wrote on how I got very lucky meeting @callmevlad and investing in @webflow what turned out to be one one of the most powerful software platforms serving the web today! medium.com/@rainfall/lessons…

🚨 New product launch!🚨 To celebrate, I’m giving $500 each to 5 people to start their wine portfolios with us. Why? Today, Vinovest opens its trading platform! Previously, the easiest way to transact wine was through brokers and auction houses.

I'm just blown away by the amazing lineup of speakers for @NoCodeConf – so many incredible leaders and innovators from so many different backgrounds coming together to move no-code forward. Probably nothing... 🥳 webflow.com/nocodeconf/speak…

The @webflow team made a new commercial, and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! The cast, the music, that eyedropper... everything! 😍 "If life were like web design..." (P.S. Our marketing team is going to kill me for leaking this early, so please don't tell them it was me... 🤫)

Eight years ago, Webflow started with three founders stubbornly trying to prove that no code was the future. A future that’s now here. Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $140M in Series B funding — to help us enable everyone to build for the web. webflow.com/blog/webflow-ser…

I never imagined that as a refugee kid stepping off the plane from the Soviet Union (20 days before it collapsed) to San Francisco that I’d be able to start a company that will be visible all throughout the city’s skyline. Feeling so lucky and grateful in this Sunday sunshine!

~8 years ago 👉 "Dreamweaver failed, WordPress already won, it's a fool's errand to invent a new way to build for the web!" Today 👉 5 out of the top 10 products that launched on ProductHunt are powered by @webflow! — Don't cave to the pessimists! (And have lots of patience!)

Just got out Uber & driver was making 95% less money than pre COVID. So in 4 weeks she learned @webflow & is now making websites for largely personal trainers and online tutors. She now makes 2x more than she did driving. Always be amazed by human resiliency. Inspiring. 👍

Well deserved @webflow team and founders!!! @callmevlad @thesergie @bryantchou
No big deal, but @Webflow was just ranked the #2 Most Innovative Company in the Design category by @FastCompany – right after Nike. Surreal! 🤯Very proud of this team! fastcompany.com/90457823/des…

Biggest fundraising strategy mistake I see founders make today: They go out to raise with inflated round size. Meet every investor in town. Investors all recognize round size is too big & turn down. Founders come back with round size halved and it then... Wow it is tough
