🏎️ @McLarenF1 and Airwallex share more than just a partnership. We share a focus on small gains that create real progress.
This year has been one of their strongest seasons, ending with a double championship that reflects the grit, discipline, and teamwork behind their success.
@ZBrownCEO shared a note with us as we announced our $330M Series G, and his message captured this shared mindset well. The strongest teams bring together sharp systems and human skill. McLaren does not win with technology alone, and Airwallex does not move billions with infrastructure alone. Progress happens when both come together.
Our Series G reflects ten years of building the licenses, networks, and compliance backbone that help businesses move money as fast as they move ideas. It is also a reminder of why this partnership works. We both value speed, precision, and steady improvement.
⚡Thank you again to Zak and #TeamPapaya!
I rejected a $1.2 billion acquisition offer from Stripe when we had just $2M in revenue.
If I had said yes, I would've personally made over $2 billion (based on Stripe's latest valuation).
This is why I said NO and built an $8 billion company instead:
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:
After @EdSheeran tragically exploded onto the music scene, my dreams of being a pop star were cut short.
But I did what I had to do - including constantly mock my own music - to somehow stay relevant.
Today, people barely remember me.
Never EVER give up.
The @UniMelb has played such a special role in the Airwallex story – with our 4 co-founders being proud uni alumni.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a 3-year partnership with the Uni to help build the next generation of tech leaders! @engunimelb

Airwallex’s latest raise maintains its $US5.5b valuation, but CEO Jack Zhang says it more than doubled revenue, which let it grow into the price amid the tech correction. https://t.co/HY6Ig2BcSB
Today, we announce Airwallex has raised an additional US$100 million in a Series E2 financing round with the same US$5.5 billion valuation. 🚀
Thank you to all our investors, customers, partners and employees for your continued support! 🌏
