Calling all startup founders ⤵️

I’m excited to join Mercury on Thursday, August 14 at 11:00AM PT to discuss creating and monetizing your personal brand. We'll dive into: 🔹 Building a personal brand with purpose.....Learn how to become the “face” of your business without overshadowing it, and use your unique voice to carve out space in a crowded market. 🔹 Strategically monetizing your brand: From newsletters to digital products, we’ll unpack how to diversify revenue streams and use your brand as a lead magnet for growth. 🔹 Balancing business and life: Discover the mental frameworks and boundaries that sustain founders managing both a business and a life outside of work. 🔹 Evolving as a modern entrepreneur: Whether you’re pivoting after an exit or building your brand in the creator economy, we’ll dive into what it means to stay relevant—and resilient. Founders: This is your moment to redefine marketing by leading with your story, scaling your brand with intention, and designing a business that aligns with your life. 📅 Register now: Link in the comments

🚨 We’re hiring experienced SDRs at Mercury 🚨 The ones who treat prospecting like a craft, who obsess over the “why” behind the message, and who want to be surrounded by teammates who raise the bar. If you're looking for a team that sets the pace… If you care more about getting better than going through the motions… If you're ready to run with the best (and win fast)… You're our kind of SDR.   ✅ We’re crushing our quotas ✅ We sell a product that founders/ business owners actually love ✅ We’ve got the right backing (think Sequoia, a16z, CRV, and Coatue), the valuation ($3.5B), and the team to win ✅ You’ll get coaching, ownership, and an opportunity to shine Want to skip the resume pile? Lets see it! Outbound to me like I’m your top prospect. If your message is good, you're getting an interview. Email is ryanr@mercury.com Job posting in the comments!

This 5-circle test is how Ray & Charles Eames decided what was worth building. It had to be good for: ⚪ The company ⚪ The maker ⚪ The designer ⚪ The community ⚪ The environment At Mercury Spheres, Llisa Demetrios — Chief Curator of the Eames Institute and granddaughter of Ray and Charles — shared how the iconic designers used this as a filter for every project. ⤵️

I’m a big advocate for the balance that remote work brings—quiet mornings, focus time, and yes, the comfort of working in athleisure. But today, I hopped on the train into Boston for our monthly coworking day with New England colleagues, and it reminded me how energizing it can be to connect in person. Didn’t hurt that I got to drop by a fave Boston landmark (Boston public library obvi), catch up on some train reading, and have dinner with Mike Malenfant and Rich Hurley M.Ed. Grateful for these moments of collaboration and camaraderie—and equally grateful to return to my home office tomorrow. Balance really is everything. Shout out to Meghan Carver and Mercury for doing all the leg work to make today possible - feeling so lucky. #RemoteWork #WorkLifeBalance #mercury #Coworking #Gratitude

We (Mercury) now has a dedicated routing number with both our partner banks: Choice Financial and Column Bank. Small but nice user experience improvement. Took surprisingly long to unlock :)

Let’s talk about startup hiring — especially when cash is tight. 💬 Tomer London, co-founder and CPO of Gusto, shares hard-earned lessons on how early-stage founders can hire with intention, not just urgency: • Don’t try to out-pay big tech — build a compensation philosophy that attracts the right people • Make every offer count with mission-aligned perks and clear impact • Hire for business outcomes, not just headcount goals In this Q&A, Tomer also answers questions like “How do you know when to stop doing sales yourself?” and “How can startups make compelling offers with limited cash?” Swipe ➡️ for Tomer’s take on hiring smart from day one.
