You can work 5 days a week and succeed as a startup.

Mercury has done that from day 0 and we are valued @ $5.2bn 7 years after launch.

I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years and raised 3 kids while doing it.

The point of success is to have a great life not just a startup 😊

Unreal numbers 👀⚡️
"JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

Rows will be joining Superhuman!

This is a big moment for us. We started Rows in 2017.

Along the way, more than 2.2 million people used Rows to execute over 17 billion spreadsheet functions, import data from their business tools more than 8.3 billion times, and run over 800 thousand AI Analyst prompts.

Now, we get to take everything we’ve learned and apply it at a much bigger scale. I deeply admire Superhuman’s vision of AI that works everywhere you work, and our team is excited to become part of a team building the future of productivity.

Huge thanks to Shishir and Mark for the trust and partnership along the way. This is a big milestone for us, and I’m genuinely excited about what comes next.

To our customers, thank you for trusting us with your work over the years. We’ve shared more details about this transition, including what it means for you, in the full announcement below.

Thank you to our team especially @torbschulz, our customers, our partners, and our investors for being part of this journey.

Let’s go!!

Why don't European companies innovate? It is common to blame expensive energy, high taxes, anti-growth politicians, interest groups, and green regulations.

But California has the same problems, and has created the world's most innovative companies.

Europe's problem is labor law. Compared with America, it's far harder to let workers go when a business doesn't work out.

- It costs a large company roughly four times more to fire a worker in Germany or France than the US.
- German law requires employers to consider age, years of service, family obligations, and disability status when deciding who to lay off. Employees who would be least impacted by losing their job are prioritized for dismissal.
- German employees who take on a caregiving role are fully protected from dismissal for two years from the date they begin caregiving.
- Factory closures in Germany regularly lead to payments of over €200,000 per employee.
- French companies must be prepared to show a court that their financial results are struggling enough to make layoffs necessary.
- To avoid the difficulties of formal dismissals, many European companies entice workers to depart voluntarily, with payouts of up to four years' salary.

Taken together, a German worker is ten times less likely to be fired in a given year than an American worker. This high cost of firing makes failures more expensive. It pushes big European companies away from taking risks and leads them to concentrate on safe, unchanging areas.

Europe has the ingredients needed to succeed. Its citizens are educated and inventive; it has excellent infrastructure and the rule of law; and its culture is not that different from the one it had fifty years ago, when its companies were world-beating. If Europe wants to a Tesla or a Google, it only needs to make it cheaper for companies to fail. My new piece for @WorksInProgMag.

Millions of Iranians demanded their freedom tonight. In response, the regime in Iran has cut all lines of communication. It has shut down the Internet. It has cut landlines. It may even attempt to jam satellite signals.

I want to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for reiterating his promise to hold the regime to account. It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead, break their silence, and act more decisively in support of the people of Iran.

I call on them to use all technical, financial, and diplomatic resources available to restore communication to the Iranian people so that their voice and their will can be heard and seen. Do not let the voices of my courageous compatriots be silenced.

After 3 years of quiet building, we are finally sharing that this is now tractable via an engineered placenta. But the implications go far beyond.

I hope this gives you a feeling of ‘awe’ that we feel every day doing our life’s work.

Incredibly grateful to the amazing team we have that enabled this and continues to push the frontier!
