Replit scaled from $2.8M → $150M ARR in less than a year. I was embedded as an Operator-in-Residence (OIR), serving as a Marketing & Growth exec inside the @Replit team.
At @craft_ventures, OIR means embedding as interim operators. Not saying "let me know how I can help" – but actually being helpful by doing the work.

That’s what we brought to Replit alongside their AI Agent launch. When I joined, the AI Agent had just launched. It wasn’t just another feature—it was a new entry point into the product’s value. Our job: build the systems to turn a viral launch into compounding ARR.
Here’s what we learned 🧵
Love football? (✅) And thrillers? (✅) It’s a thriller set in the world of football! Loved The Snap, the debut novel by @RedheadStape, who some of us remember from her former life in NFL PR. Read it between games this weekend. Congrats!
Reminder that our new Email Auto Warm Up feature went live on Product Hunt today! Check out the launch to learn how you can build a strong domain, so an email sent = an email received. https://t.co/Mloqrdm3Z7

At the height of the pandemic, @Randstad effectively broadened vaccine access to a wider portion of the German population, reduced wasted vaccine doses, and expedited the national vaccine rollout — all with the help of push notifications. https://t.co/I5ST4xgydR #COVID19#vaccine
@shalisemyoung 10000% agreed. One of the kindest coaches I ever worked with. Even when I was an intern he checked in. Asked how I was. Asked about my parents in Chicago. Such a good dude.
