🥂 Series H looks good on us.

This week we celebrated this milestone across Airwallex offices around the world, and we had to share the best part: the brilliant people behind the momentum.

And we're only getting started.

Want to be in our next batch of celebration photos? Come build with us. Link in the comments 👇

Media training that tells you to be a different person than you are and give answers to questions that you don’t believe is bad.

Media training that helps you build muscle around the art of taking control of the interview and format to make the resulting piece work for your goals is good.

Our team at @t0finance is growing.

We’re hiring for several roles in San Francisco:

→ Product Lead
→ Senior AI Engineer
→ Staff Product Designer
→ Staff Backend Engineer, AI
→ & more

We’re building a new kind of finance platform that understands how a business works, automates complex workflows end-to-end, and helps finance teams spend less time chasing numbers.

This is hard, high-stakes work across AI agents, orchestration, financial data, accounting logic, and production infrastructure.

If that sounds fun, we’d love to talk.

[Michael Morgenstern @M___Morgenstern]

Zero day close. Not a faster month end. No month-end. https://t.co/yWlD7DD8vO is your finance team. An accountant, CFO, the whole bench, rebuilt as AI agents that keep the books closed in real time, every day. Ping me to request access!!]

[Rahul Kumar @rahul_a_kumar]

Finance teams weren’t meant to spend their best hours categorizing transactions, chasing reconciliations or waiting for month end.

That’s why @lancectk and his team created T:0.

An AI native finance team that runs your books in real time, from bookkeeping and reporting to CFO level insights.

We’re letting founders focus on what they do best - building.

Zero day close.
Zero fire drills.
Zero surprises.

Agentic commerce is here. Agents initiating transactions, managing spend, and operating autonomously across financial systems. What does this mean for shoppers (frictionless buying), merchants (brand control in an LLM world), and builders (the infrastructure for agentic payments, stablecoins, and money movement).

@MarieAdant My nightmare question 😂

[Shannon Scott @scott_shannon]

Had a blast at our Agentic Future event yesterday in San Francisco.

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to network and chat about the future of agentic commerce.

The future we're building feels a lot closer now.

[Airwallex @airwallex]

Yesterday was a big day for us! We announced our Series H and got to celebrate with some incredible voices in the room.

Thank you to our panelists from @Google, @AnthropicAI and @Visa for the conversation and to everyone who joined us.

[Rachael Horwitz @RachaelRad]

Our Chief Product Officer @scott_shannon in SF from Melbourne painting the agentic future @airwallex sees coming and how we’re building it.

[aleena @aleenerinaa]

Feeling very grateful for how far I’ve come in my career and being on a team that supports one another to pull an event off like this in less than five weeks.

We are doing some amazing things at @airwallex ! 👏

Adding event planning to the resume 🤓

[Jennifer Epstein @jeneps]

If you're curious about @airwallex or @awxjack's amazing personal story, check out their conversation from last year https://t.co/7k4QAztPyv

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

I could do some bland fundraising congrats tweet for Airwallex and Jack Zhang today with their raising $320M at an $11BN valuation.

But I am not going to.

The reason I love doing 20VC is because I learn from the smartest minds in the world and they often become friends.

@awxjack is a big brother to me, a dear friend, a permanent fixture at every birthday party of mine and a firm favourite of my mother.

Jack, I am so proud of you and the team today. This is just the start. LFG. ❤️

[Irvin Sha @irvincsha]

This is our third raise in the last year and a half. In the last three rounds, we’ve raised $950mm. More importantly, we’ve transformed the perception of the business and the value we provide to our customers.

And now, as we launch our next wave of AI and agentic commerce capabilities, we’re excited to show the world the next wave of growth for the company.

So many thanks to everyone that’s supported us along this journey. My thanks to the teams at Addition, @BaillieGifford, @HummingbirdVC , @QEDInvestors, @TRowePrice, @HaunVentures, Hedosophia, Washington University in St Louis, and AmEx Ventures for backing us. Thanks to everyone at @airwallex for the countless hours to get all this done.

And on to the next one!

[Irvin Sha @irvincsha]

I get asked a lot about what’s next for Airwallex, or what gets me excited. This is what I most frequently point to. An AI-native finance platform, built from the ground up in Silicon Valley.

So excited to see what @lancectk continues to build with us here at Airwallex!

[Rachael Horwitz @RachaelRad]

Have really enjoyed getting to know @bzlwang and what a dream to collaborate with the exceptional @cclayporter !!

[Michael Morgenstern @M___Morgenstern]

Love working for @awxjack a true visionary and leading the charge from the front.
