[Lawrence Lin Murata @LawLM]

At @slopepay, we’re excited to announce our $30M round led by @USV with major participation from @sama - bringing our total equity/debt funding to $187M. Since launching in Aug ‘21, we are over 8 figures in ARR and are a lean team of 18. In the midst of this excitement, I wanted to share color on what it took to get to where we are. A 🧵

I believe the best opportunities are never obvious at first... Here's a blog post I wrote on how I got very lucky meeting @callmevlad and investing in @webflow what turned out to be one one of the most powerful software platforms serving the web today! https://t.co/QcCIkWS0E7

🚨 New product launch!🚨

To celebrate, I’m giving $500 each to 5 people to start their wine portfolios with us.

Why?

Today, Vinovest opens its trading platform!

Previously, the easiest way to transact wine was through brokers and auction houses.

[Vlad Magdalin @callmevlad]

I'm just blown away by the amazing lineup of speakers for @NoCodeConf – so many incredible leaders and innovators from so many different backgrounds coming together to move no-code forward.

Probably nothing...

@callmevlad Is this a publicity stunt? 🧐

[Vlad Magdalin @callmevlad]

The @webflow team made a new commercial, and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! The cast, the music, that eyedropper... everything! 😍

"If life were like web design..."

(P.S. Our marketing team is going to kill me for leaking this early, so please don't tell them it was me... 🤫)

[ron rofe @ronrofe]

Another great milestone for the hard working team at @webflow and feels like just the beginning! Congrats @callmevlad @bryantchou @thesergie !!! So happy to be a part of the journey all these years!!!

[Webflow @webflow]

Eight years ago, Webflow started with three founders stubbornly trying to prove that no code was the future.

A future that’s now here.

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $140M in Series B funding — to help us enable everyone to build for the web.

I never imagined that as a refugee kid stepping off the plane from the Soviet Union (20 days before it collapsed) to San Francisco that I’d be able to start a company that will be visible all throughout the city’s skyline.

Feeling so lucky and grateful in this Sunday sunshine!

~8 years ago 👉 "Dreamweaver failed, WordPress already won, it's a fool's errand to invent a new way to build for the web!"

Today 👉 5 out of the top 10 products that launched on ProductHunt are powered by @webflow!

Don't cave to the pessimists! (And have lots of patience!)

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Just got out Uber & driver was making 95% less money than pre COVID.

So in 4 weeks she learned @webflow & is now making websites for largely personal trainers and online tutors.

She now makes 2x more than she did driving.

Always be amazed by human resiliency. Inspiring. 👍
