Today @finix is excited to announce we’ve raised $75M in Series C funding led by @AcrewCapital, co-led by @lightspeedvp and @leappartners.
When we started Finix, we were big believers in the developer movement. We still are! Since then, we’ve recognized that there’s been a major shift in the market. Even businesses that have developers don’t want to spend their time or resources on payments — they want highly brandable and configurable payment components. From startups to publicly traded companies, merchants to vertical SaaS companies, customers of all sizes are taking advantage of Finix’s no-code solutions. Today, every feature in Finix's broad product suite is now available in no-code, low-code and API-driven solutions.
If Adyen is for the enterprise, Square is for card present SMBs, Stripe is for the developer-centric startup, Finix is for the 22M businesses without enough developers.

The Stars and Stripes fly again over Embassy Kyiv. I can announce that we have officially resumed Embassy operations in Ukraine’s capital. We stand proudly with the government and people of Ukraine as they bravely defend their country from Putin’s brutal invasion. Slava Ukraini!

Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow

Russia continues holding hostage over 400.000 people in Mariupol, blocks humanitarian aid and evacuation. Indiscriminate shelling continues. Almost 3.000 newborn babies lack medicine and food. I urge the world to act! Force Russia to stop its barbaric war on civilians and babies!

We are grateful to @Dan_Schulman for #StandingwithUkraine and for suspending business in russia. It makes a huge difference. @PayPal we welcome you in Ukraine! Your presence will provide more financial freedom to 40 million of Ukrainians in these difficult times.

This was the world’s largest aircraft, AN-225 ‘Mriya’ (‘Dream’ in Ukrainian). Russia may have destroyed our ‘Mriya’. But they will never be able to destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We shall prevail!

Horrific Russian rocket strikes on Kyiv. Last time our capital experienced anything like this was in 1941 when it was attacked by Nazi Germany. Ukraine defeated that evil and will defeat this one. Stop Putin. Isolate Russia. Severe all ties. Kick Russia out of everywhete.

So fantastic to see the cofounder of @Smartling and CTO of @ppl_ai, @chelya! We had the chance to chat about the lessons he learned on his journey from founder to leader. Thank you for endorsing my book From Start-Up to Grown-Up!

The tech hiring market is going crazy right now. Most recruiting firms I work with are saturated with demand and don't have the people to handle all the searches. 🚀🚀🚀🚀

One of the most under-rated skills by people who have a lot of substance is storytelling. They often roll their eyes on good storytellers. It’s an unfortunate mistake I see many otherwise strong founders make. Magic happens when substance meets great storytelling
Lots of @ppl_ai patents!
Since inception, @ppl_ai has filed 84 patent applications, and continues to be recognized as the most innovative company in the revenue operations space with 27 issued U.S. Patents in the past year prnewswire.com/news-releases…
