Had a lunch this week with an amazing former colleague from my days at Capital One running Product Innovation almost two decades ago. It struck me how I once championed her for a promotion, for identifying gaps in a new product during a trial, saving the company a multi-millions of dollars and hundreds of hours or development. Amidst an environment where her achievements were pitted against revenue generators, her promotion stemmed from saving valuable resources and finances by identifying critical flaws. This anecdote parallels the ethos of Crossroad Commerce today. While we excel in offering innovative solutions and counsel to our clients, a significant part of our work involves preventing a waste of time and money by not making mistakes that we have seen in our past, leveraging our expertise. Sometimes the avoidance of problems actually leads to quicker and less costly outcomes, leading to bigger wins for your business. Let Crossroad help your company do that in building (or supporting an existing build) of a new internal Global Payouts product for you. #crossroadcommerce #innovation #avoidthemines

They say surround yourself with the right people, and I couldn't agree more! A month ago, we flew to San Francisco to meet Jason Calacanis and the incredible team at LAUNCH, who are backing ConvertMate's mission to help eCommerce merchants increase their sales through automated on-page optimizations. This trip was transformational for us in so many ways: - We connected with investors who’ve backed successful companies and gained invaluable insights. - We stepped into spaces where major decisions are made. - We received constructive feedback from the folks at Sequoia Capital. Since then, it's been a wild ride: 🚀 We tripled our MRR in just two months! 👥 Welcomed our first team member to help us serve our clients even better. 🛠️ Rolled out game-changing features to ConvertMate. 💡 Shifted our focus to high-growth brands and elevated our pricing to match our value. Surrounding yourself with the right people is a game-changer. We're thrilled to be backed by incredible investors, and we can't wait to help even more brands crush their eCommerce goals! 🚀 #startupfounder #founderstory #convertmate #shopifyseo #artificialintelligence

🚀 Doubling Down on Hyperline 🚀 Thrilled to support Hyperline again as they raise a $10M round led by Index Ventures! Investing in a company at pre-seed is one thing. But doubling down at a later stage? That’s a first for me, and I'm glad to do it in partnership with Adelie (cc. Jean-Manuel & Quentin). And I couldn’t be prouder to do it for a company of this caliber. In just a year, Hyperline has gone from a bold vision to $250M in processed payments, 150+ active customers, and a best-in-class revenue management platform. What Lucas Bédout, Clément Garbay, and the team (cc. Victoria Dalleau) have built is nothing short of impressive. 🔹 Revenue management is broken – businesses need more flexibility in pricing, invoicing, and payments. Hyperline is solving this by making revenue operations seamless and automated. 🔹 The momentum is real – from an idea to a must-have solution used daily by companies worldwide. 🔹 The team is exceptional – I saw it from day one, and this round only strengthens my conviction. On a personal level, I’m incredibly happy to be joining forces once again with Index (Julia Andre), my great friend Anthony Danon and of course Adelie with whom I'm partnering to double down. Looking forward to the next stage of the journey! 📢 To all finance and ops teams drowning in revenue complexity – Hyperline is here to change that. Let’s go! 🚀 Link to TechCrunch in comments (thanks Romain Dillet)
