About this episode
This year has been painful for many businesses, but some tech-focused startups have managed to thrive amid the pandemic. In the $1B+ Club series debut, founder and CEO Klaviyo, Andrew Bialecki, shares how his marketing automation platform quintupled its valuation to $4.15B in the last 10 months. Ping Li, venture capitalist who led Accel’s investment in Klaviyo, discusses how Klaviyo joins a healthy cohort of e-commerce platforms, and highlights how Klaviyo has helped many struggling businesses pivot to online commerce after the pandemic closed their brick and mortar locations. Chinese regulators have ordered Ant Group, the world’s largest financial technology company, to rectify its businesses and comply with regulatory requirements amid increased scrutiny of anti-monopoly practices in the country’s internet sector. Plus, 11th hour changes to stimulus plans...and the most *intimate* holiday returns.
