Agree on Mercury (thanks @immad!) What do you use Ramp for? I'd rate Rippling a little higher, maybe 6/10. Their UI could use some help.

Basically all outgoing money (expenses): employee credit cards and invoice payment primarily. It’s really well done.

For cards, yes. I love Mercury but Ramp is a much much more mature cards product.

They’ll even do stuff like aggregate spend per vendor across all cards and invoices and negotiate you a better single rate on your behalf. Simple example: multiple employees individually paying for the same SaaS.

Past Paul would have never guessed that in 2023 my two favorite (and only, really) social networks would be a tiny Twitter clone started by a friend and …LinkedIn. 🤷‍♂️😏 life is full of surprise

Today was a good day. Since @limhi may ask why: Today is the day we got clear signal that a lot of people want what we're building at Quilt. Waitlist signups *far* exceeded expectations. So did the amount of support we got, genuinely humbling. Also, nothing crashed. 🎉

Had the same thought. The seriousness of this presentation, and the product they’ve landed on so far, smacks of a team that’s been patting themselves on the back for too long. Contrast this with Jeff Han’s multitouch demo, which let the magic of the technology speak for itself.
