    1/ Excited to announce our @joinhomebase Series D. Local businesses are building the future of good jobs. Last year we helped over 100k great SMBs save 50M hours and make work easier for 2% of the workforce. We are excited to support them in new ways in the years ahead.

    Truth. @rabois is a world-class teacher on all things company building. He has made me a better founder and CEO at every stage of the company. Psyched for @khoslaventures to have him back

    Replying to @alexrkonrad @rabois and @vkhosla
    I also pinged a bunch of @rabois' portfolio founders on short notice to see what they had to say. A bunch responded, including OpenAI CEO @sama, who hopped on the phone: "He's one of the few that early-stage founders actively seek out." forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

    We've been fortunate to have a great set of supporters along the way, and that includes the fantastic @aileenlee @kirstenagreen and @eurie_kim from the beginning. We wouldn't be the company we are today without them #FoundersForChange

    Going out for Memorial Day weekend? Be nice to the folks working, be patient, and tip well. You should always do that, but extra reminder: they are almost certainly understaffed right now and doing their best.

    25% of local businesses are closed. 39% of hourly workers aren’t working. Covid-19 looks like a natural disaster and needs to be treated like one. #supportsmallbusiness bit.ly/2xcasyx

    All data points we have @joinhomebase say the "labor supply" story is real on Main Street. We are seeing record levels of job posts and low levels of applicants

    Replying to @bencasselman
    On the other hand, this chart is pretty consistent with a "labor supply" story: Wages are shooting up in leisure and hospitality. A LOT of caveats here about composition issues, overinterpreting one month of data, etc.

    If you thought today’s unemployment numbers were bad, just wait. Speed of aid just as important as size right now.

    Bain Capital Ventures raised $1.9 billion across two new funds. I spoke with a few partners about the fundraising process amid the tricky market, and why they’re “leaning in” right now. My latest @FortuneMagazine bit.ly/3Z6mOAz

    Recently, I had the chance to speak to @FoxNews about a reimagined payday for Main Street. I’m proud that Homebase is leading the charge on a new era of pay for small businesses and their workers. See the future of pay hmbase.co/3ZZJJii
