After ~a year of soul searching and questioning, today we announce that we sold Postmark and DMARC Digests to @ActiveCampaign. For some of you reading, this will come as quite the surprise... โ https://t.co/zrCERfxOBP
Hello ๐
Did you know we have a newsletter about building and growing #peoplefirst businesses?
It lands in your inbox on the last Wednesday of each month, which in February is... less than 48 hours from now! Take a look. We'd love to have you ๐

We had a wonderful conversation with @randfish yesterdayโand he gave us a deep, insightful definition of what makes a company people-first.
Thank you to our panelists Rand, @natalienagele, @meladorri, and all of you who joined us live and asked questions ๐
Tomorrow!
We're excited to host @randfish from @sparktoro and our CEO Natalie for a conversation about deep work and chill work.
You're invited๐
Join us: https://t.co/VLKIhGWi9e
What questions do you have for two company founders who like to work hard & rest hard, and who run successful companies without subscribing to the idea of 'growth at all costs'?
Ask them here!
When we heard @randfish talk about *chill work*, it reminded us of how we talk about *deep work*.
We wanted to hear more, so we invited him to have a follow-up chat on Feb 9.
Want to join us?

Here are a few things we learned after months (or, in our case, 5 years) of implementing it: ๐งต
๐ก 3. People innovate and find smarter and more efficient ways to work
โจ 4. The shorter workweek is a huge selling point for attracting and retaining top talent
Itโs official:
Bolt is now the first tech unicorn to permanently switch to a 4 day work week ๐โก๏ธ๐ฅ
Our 3 month experiment proved every core thesis:
Heightened
1/ Productivity
2/ Engagement
3/ Wellness
Weโre never going back and hereโs why ๐
What *is* a people-first business?
