The most cracked marketers or social media talent will likely just end up building their own thing

It’s either be a solo-founder or join a high growth startup with equity deal

Not much incentive for the inbetween

@defyneric its been 6 months already?!

[Ryan @ryangrowthh]

Just got off a call with @defyneric from Flex ($1B+ company).

Some of my key takeaways (growth, marketing, etc.):

• X is the best networking platform in the world. Companies AND employees should be here daily hunting talent, connections, etc.
• As a young person with big goals, imposter syndrome is a GOOD sign.
• Be apart of something bigger than yourself (hitting $10-40k/mo solo is cool, but the type of person who can do this should probably join something bigger)
• Young content/marketing talent is in-demand across AI, fintech, etc.
• Being young in the marketplace is valuable. Display that you have potential.
• Written UGC X creators - barely anybody is doing this. Huge market gap.
• Copywriters are in still demand.
• Identify your North Star, then take aggressive action to reach your end goal
• YouTube as an acquisition channel for B2B >
• Distribution is THE moat
• Flex is on an astronomical trajectory
• I need to go to New York more
• Eric is a killer

Always cool to see other young people killing it🥂

When it comes to hiring, it’s easier to tame a reckless hustler than it is to instill that dawg in someone

I'm building out my own team at Flex and am looking for the most ambitious people to come work with me.

My goal is to personally drive $100M in ARR in 2027, and I'm looking for absolute killers who can help make that happen.

Specifically looking for people who are proficient in:

> GTM engineering (GrokBot, Hermes, etc.)
> Understanding the X algorithm and what makes content go viral
> Building scalable acquisition systems

if you're obsessed with growth and marketing, and want to help take Flex from a $1B valuation to $10B and beyond, comment below.

we'll reach out.

@zaidrmn near 100% logo retention is crazy

[Zaid Rahman @zaidrmn]

Q3 was Flex’s strongest quarter yet as we build the global financial home for HNW business owners.

A few highlights:

- Revenue grew 2.5x YoY at scale
- $20B+ annualized TPV
- Revenue outside business cards grew 7x YoY
- Accounts Payable now accounts for ~39% of revenue
- Texas and Florida are our largest markets, with customers across construction, wholesale, healthcare, ecommerce brands, local government, and more
- 98% gross logo retention
- Global banking now represents 12% of revenue, up from just 0.4% at the start of the year, fueled by spend management, stablecoin, and multi-currency accounts
- Canada is our largest market outside the US, followed by the UAE
- Cross-border payments revenue grew 5.5x YoY

On the consumer side, thousands of HNW individuals have joined the waitlist for Flex Elite, our new personal credit card offering up to 5% cashback on everything.

We're onboarding members in phases. DM us for priority.

Our ambition is simple: build the full financial home for founders, across both their businesses and personal lives. And every quarter reminds me of how underserved traditional businesses are globally.

I joined Gstaad Guy's podcast to share what we've been up to. Watch below.

I see a lot of VCs bragging on this app about how awesome they are.

So allow me to brag that no one, and I mean NO ONE, in the VC industry has as much fun as @HustleFundVC.

Also, no other VC owns a hippocorn onesie. Which I wear several times per year.
