Good to see you post Matt, it's been quite awhile since we saw you last, I hope you are doing well. Oh, we ran into your mother a few years ago in the park, she was with her dog, our granddaughter fell in love with it and we bought one in that breed a week or so later.............Bill (the older one)

(No shade to Uzbekistan. Excellent kit.) That's exactly what programs at sporting events are for. They turn a blur of unfamiliar jerseys into actual names, numbers, and stories you can follow. Greenville's startup scene has had a version of that same problem for years. Dozens of organizations, hundreds of companies, thousands of people building, mentoring, and showing up — and no single program to tell you who's who. So we made one. Hopefully, you've seen the new StartupGVL website, but we're proud of the refresh and NextGEN would love your feedback. StartupGVL is a rallying cry. It's an umbrella brand covering over 75 resources, events, and support organizations all here to help entrepreneurs move forward. On the website, you'll find an event calendar, founder stories, a listing of programs, and our famous resource map. Use it yourself, and send people there whenever they ask how to get involved. When someone outside the community googles "Greenville startup scene," StartupGVL should be the first thing they find. See you on the pitch! https://startupgvl.com/

Bill West liked thisIt’s a little odd for me to share a screenshot from one of our users on LinkedIn, but here I am. The thing about Payme is - we’re not reinventing the wheel. Open banking has been around for a while now. But what we focus on is the communication, the experience, and the fit for the everyday businesses and users that need it most. This message from one of our users struck a chord. It’s exactly why we’re building this. 💬 “I found Payme at a time where I’ve been searching for ages - answered all my prayers 🙌🏽 All of my clients have given really good feedback and found it really cool!” That’s what we’re here for. User experience and education are still the biggest barriers to open banking adoption. The tech works, we just need to present it better, especially to those who will benefit the most from it. We’re still new to the scene, but we’re not here to sit quietly. This space is ripe for clarity and simplesity and that’s exactly what we’re bringing. #OpenBanking #Fintech #Payme #FoundersNote #UserExperience #BankToBankPayments #LocalBusiness #ProductDesign #PaymentsReimagined

Bill West liked thisHad a recent back and forth with Oisin O'Connor where I think we both remarked - this is the most excited we’ve been in a long time about eComm. Oisin said it best “this is the wild Wild West” in eComm. Everything you think you know about how things work: strategy, tech, ecosystem is being disrupted right now. The only mistake you can make at the moment is assuming anything about the way it has worked is the way it will work going forward. Break it all down to first principles and have imagination. #ecommerce

Bill West liked thisBill West liked thisIt started with a question: What would it look like to build a new kind of American cycling team? Not a vanity project. Not a short-term play. But a team with soul. With staying power. With a reason to exist. Today, that idea becomes real. Welcome to Modern Adventure Pro Cycling, a new UCI ProTeam with big ambition, deeper values, and a long road ahead. We’re here to do more than race. We’re here to build: → A home for American riders with global dreams → A team where integrity, creativity, and grit drive the culture → A movement that connects performance to purpose This didn’t come together overnight. It was shaped by George Hincapie and a leadership group that’s been in and around the sport for decades, and by sponsors who believed in the vision before it was real. Award winning travel company, Modern Adventure is our title sponsor, and this team shares its DNA: a love of challenge, a sense of purpose, and a belief in what becomes possible when you go all in. The future of American cycling won’t build itself. That’s why we’re here. This is just the beginning. THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN CYCLING STARTS NOW. Let’s ride.

Bill West liked thisBill West liked thisLIFE Update! After a refreshing six-month break—spent exploring Costa Rica, Montana, and Southern California, reconnecting with friends, and generally taking some much-needed downtime—I’m excited to be back in build mode. As much as I enjoyed the slower pace, I’ve realized I thrive on solving problems, working with great teams, and taking on big challenges. With that, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Diff/VML as VP of Revenue. This move is especially meaningful because I’ve known the Diff team for nearly 14 years. It’s surreal to say that out loud. Back when I was helping to launch Shopify Plus, Diff was one of a small group of partners who played a pivotal role in our early success. At the time, we were establishing foundational functions—sales (huge thanks to Mat Paciga ), solutions engineering (appreciate you Andy Oliver!) support (looking at you Lily Rogers )—but we couldn’t do it alone. Shopify was the underdog, going head-to-head with Magento and Demandware (now SFCC), and we leaned heavily on trusted partners to help us prove we belonged. Diff stood out then, as it does now. Their ability to take a technical, consultative approach—collaborating deeply with clients to solve complex challenges, build custom solutions, and deliver scalable integrations—was and continues to be exceptional. Now, more than a decade later, working again with Benjamin Crudo, Hai-Long Nguyen , Andrew Evans and the entire Diff/VML team truly feels like a full-circle moment—and a bit like coming home. LFG!
