@angeliuuuuu

some personal news: i’ve joined @FirstMarkCap, where I'll be working with exceptional founders and leading the growth investing strategy alongside @abimbhet and @vverawang. FirstMark has backed some of my favorite companies of this cycle: @vercel, @ClickHouseDB, @WeAreLegora, @tryramp, @modal, @ro, @function, to name just a few, and i’m grateful to join a team I've long admired: @rick, @amishjani, @mattturck, @adamn, @DavidWaltcher, and the rest of the FirstMark family!

We raised $550M at an $8.8B valuation. A cap table tells you how a company intends to build. We built this round around investors with a long time horizon: established long-term holders, plus institutions that work with law firms and in-house legal teams every day and have a close view of where legal work is heading. @Atreidesmgmt / @GavinSBaker led. @BaronCapital, @CapitalGroup, @Fidelity, @GladeBrookCap and @jpmorgan are new. Every major existing investor is in again. Short-horizon money asks for growth at any price. Long-horizon money asks whether the business holds up. We’d rather deliver on the second question. ARR is past $200M, and the next $100M took us less than six months. Gross margin is healthy and the cost structure gets stronger as we scale. Patient investors let us keep it that way, because nobody is asking us to trade one for the other. Thank you to every investor who joined, and to the customers and team who bet on us. Adding a picture from when we signed the term sheet. Back to work. LFG!
