Today marks half a decade of powering payroll for our partners! The platforms they've built are paying hundreds of thousands of employees across tens of thousands of businesses. We’re excited to continue growing together in the decades to come.

One of the things I love about @check_hq is that it's a true "platform of platforms" play for payroll. In a few years, we could see @Shopify @expensify @askmindbody @tryramp offering their customers payroll, all built on Check. (Major ht @benthompson for the framing.)

Payroll is a colossal opportunity. • $150B market cap for payroll cos • Incumbents are > 50 years old • Largest player has just 17% share • NPS score often 0 This is why I'm so bullish about @check_hq. Could prove one of the most dominant fintech cos of the 2020s. 👇

Phase 1: Software gets built for every industry Phase 2: Managing unintegrated tools gets messy Phase 3 (now): Industry point solutions get bundled into seamless business-specific software suites. Smart thread 👇
Industry-specific vertical software companies will eat some of the most iconic internet businesses of the last decade, including @stripe and @salesforce — and it all starts with a laundromat. The impending vertical software tsunami and what I call ‘The Laundromat Problem’ 🌊

Most SMBs wish the software they use for scheduling, dispatch, and customer payments could also process their payroll. Now, thanks to @check_hq, they can. Congrats to the entire @check_hq team! Excited to be part of this journey! fortune.com/2021/01/27/finte…

Payroll is a big opportunity for vertical sw platforms but has stagnated for too long—held back by archaic tech & complex dev experiences. Today I am excited to announce Thrive’s investment in @Check_HQ to deliver a moden API for payroll infrastructure. checkhq.com/blog/introducing…

Always my favourite AI trajectory slide. Pulls it back to fundamentals and highlights the importance of well curated datasets. #TrainAI2017
