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 U.S. vaccine distribution challenges remind me of @StanfordGSB's Charles O'Reilly's definition: "Innovation= creativity + implementation." In this case, implementation means scaling both manufacturing and distribution, which require system-wide communication and coordination.

It’s amazing how the US election infrastructure was working just fine in 2016, when Trump won the presidency, but now in 2020 it’s like a “third-world country” when he lost. Who was president during that period of decline?
Few outsiders capture Philly, @mattnathanson. Nice to be reminded you did.
Yep, and I wonder how so many fellow Americans can act in a way that repudiates core values I work to live everyday in all facets of my life. This morning's reflection is a sizable and very personal "WTF"
Take a minute to stop and realize 65 million people knew everything we know about Donald Trump and voted for him anyway. We got big problems in this country.

Yes, the Earth will continue to orbit the sun. And yes, it will become fall in the Northern Hemisphere. And “It’ll start getting cooler.” But the seasons and climate change aren't the same thing, Mr. President. Denying the climate crises is a lot like denying COVID: It's deadly.

How exciting to be public with something — a community, a pedagogy, a collection of colleagues — so near and dear to my heart!

You can be friends with one of your employees. But set boundaries for when you’re talking in “friend mode” and “work mode.” s.hbr.org/2SLS4U4

Only 16% of employees are engaged at work. Check out the results from the most extensive and methodologically consistent global study of employee engagement to learn why. Findings from a recent @Cisco study are in this @HarvardBiz article, too. bit.ly/2VEkLHn #WeAreCisco
