How fast can I get to market? This is a question I hear from founders and business leaders alike. Speed is a competitive advantage in this market. That's why Airwallex has invested in ready-made financial solutions for platforms and marketplaces - making it easy for them to embed financial technology into their existing products at speed. We're partnering with Square Peg to host an exclusive roundtable breakfast on July 3 in Melbourne. With insights from Airwallex's Global SVP of Product, Shannon Scott, and Square Peg's Principal Investor, Lucy Tan - I'd love to invite my network to be part of an incredible discussion on the most effective financial models for scalable growth. Here are some of the questions that will be covered: 🏁 In today's competitive environment, speed to market is everything.... how can founders leverage embedded finance in their product roadmap? ⺽ Scalable growth is dependent on graduating from SaaS to monetised transactions, true or false? Why? 📈Square Peg has a history of backing payments founders early in their journey... what makes this space so interesting to a VC? Has that interest shifted with changing market dynamics? Spaces are strictly limited, link in comments 😊

If you are struggling with product-market fit (and what startup isn't), you might find this a helpful guide. I sure did. Thanks Lenny's Newsletter! #freelancerevolution

What a fantastic way to start the week! I'm delighted to share Crowdcube's acquisition of Semper, the leading secondary liquidity platform supporting founders and employees of high-growth companies across Europe. Why is this so exciting and why now? 📣 We'll help more founders, employees, and early shareholders realise some value in the shares and vested options they own. 📣 As the public markets continue to remain challenging and growth-stage venture funding levels remain suppressed, businesses are seeking innovative liquidity solutions for their employees and early shareholders 📣 Creates unprecedented access for retail and high net-worth investors to participate alongside institutional investors in secondary transactions within Europe's most exciting late-stage private companies. The potential to create the largest private market equity investment platform in Europe is vast, and we’re just getting started.
