@awxjack Thank you for sharing Jack. It's so important for people to know what it takes to build something like Airwallex.

[Ljuba @ljuba]

This 🧵is the quintessential immigrant founder story, one I resonate with personally and am deeply proud to be a part of. Congrats @awxjack and the entire Airwallex team!

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue.

Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR.

We could've died three times during this journey.

This is the story I've never told anyone before:

Life update: Last year, I moved from Silicon Valley to Melbourne and joined the most outrageously ambitious startup I've ever known, but that you probably haven't heard of (yet).

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

Today we’re announcing @airwallex's 300M Series F at 6.2B valuation. This is a big step forward, and it will help us move faster in building the future of global banking.

@tomcoates @cyanhex @antimega Aww, thanks Tom. @cyanhex big fan of Loom!

@elihorne Right?!

[Ljuba @ljuba]

Hey friends. Now that we've wound down Hometown, I’m excited to get back to collaborating with teams on product strategy, management, and design. So get in touch and let's ship great stuff together! https://t.co/rAoWYlDhHJ

@elihorne Only if they port macOS to the iPad first. :(

[Ljuba @ljuba]

@ericpanzer That just makes it worse.

[Ljuba @ljuba]

Is it a coup attempt now?

[stephen fowler @stphnfwlr]

With these letters, Georgia’s entire Republican Congressional delegation+state Republican Party are all pushing - without any specific evidence - that there are irregularities that cloud the state’s election AND somehow only affected 3 GOP candidates that didn’t win/win outright.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

What we're seeing from Trump and his allies today is an autocratic attempt. It's not a competent one, and it probably won't be an effective one. But that's what it is. And far worse would follow if it succeeded. https://t.co/t66o0mTPuK

[Ljuba @ljuba]

There will be no national reckoning. No justice. No principles. Just power. This is our reality.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

STOP THE COUNT!

@MarkStenberg3 @nytfood America’s Test Kitchen, but your Klout score might suffer.

[Ljuba @ljuba]

@aJoostEggermont @KyleYoungblom Wow

[Ljuba @ljuba]

@arctictony @megnut @iamdeepa The work to forgive and offer compassion to those who have harmed us is worthwhile. It unburdens the psyche when justice is unavailable. But this is an active shooter situation. He’s causing harm from his hospital bed. And he’ll be more dangerous than even once he’s out.

[Ljuba @ljuba]

@arctictony @iamdeepa “Donald Trump is a human first” is incorrect. He is the most powerful and dangerous human on the planet. And he’s chosen to use that power to debirately cause incalculable suffering. I take no pleasure in his diagnosis, but I won’t waste my compassion.

@siegel_justin Co-founder 100%, especially when you’re the one with the more externally-facing role. It signals you’re part of a team.
