@mondaydotcom is one of the most exciting opps in software. It's a key holding in @SquarePegCap’s listed equities fund.

I joined Business Breakdowns 🎙️ with @ReustleMatt to dig into this amazing business, co-founded in 2012 by @roy_man @zzeran

We are having a great discussion at @SquarePegCap on revenue & the characteristics & quality of different types of revenue. Nerdy but fun 🤓 Not all revenue is created equal.
Here are some thoughts. Would love input 🙏

@lucy_tanAU Freakonomics has a great chapter on this

We are a high conviction investor and partner with founders from day 1 of their journey. Thanks to our founders (+ our investors) for making this possible - you inspire all of us with your vision, your optimism and your resilience every day 🙏🏻

[Square Peg @SquarePegCap]

We've raised our fifth generation of funds. That means partnering with more exceptional founders and we couldn't be more grateful.

@PaulBassat, @tush_roy, @piruzes and @awxjack spoke to Bloomberg about the announcement, read it here:

@dkras That’s just how we do it in Melbourne

[Paul Bassat @PaulBassat]

There is a lot of debate about markets right now & after a bit of media coverage, we wanted to be transparent & share with everyone exactly what we are saying to our Investors. Our views are lightly held and we would really love any feedback 🙏 https://t.co/toSYwsaVvC

@FlintCasey It is wild how much time is wasted figuring out times for a meeting - and equally wild that a solution like this is so offensive to so many people! I understand the rage when you’re asking someone for their time, but otherwise…

[Ben Hensman @bhens_]

@jethrojcohen Hope this wasn’t your only takeaway… ❤️

[Ben Hensman @bhens_]

[Ben Hensman @bhens_]

In NSW right now, hospitalisation rate is 1.3%. It was about 12% at peak of the Delta wave.
Of those in hospital, about 13% are in ICU. It was about 18% at peak of Delta.
BUT - in Victoria, the 8% of over 16s who aren't vaccinated are making up 92% of ICU admissions

@rabbieburns Worst! Enjoy ⛷❤️

[Square Peg @SquarePegCap]

After almost a decade of building with purpose and determination, @ROKT is now the third-largest private Australian tech company, alongside @airwallex and @canva.

This record-breaking fundraise is another sign of @BEBuchanan's extraordinary leadership 💌
