 Hello. This is the recommerce platform Meeting Billi. Nice to meet you. As a used trading and rental re-commerce platform company, we are recruiting partners who are developing services at a faster pace and are simultaneously investing and expanding the market. Billi Care is a service where you can return a product you like even if it is a second-hand transaction. Obviously, you have to be a merchant seller to do this, so you have to pay an extra 10% on the price of the product. The welcome person can send the principal amount, so the seller does not sell the item but includes a 10% profit of the selling price. If you no longer like what you're buying used, don't bother reselling it. The purpose is to solve instability by introducing rental BM to general used transactions and to scale-up by integrating re-commerce and rental markets. thank you  https://lnkd.in/gXyiTa7z

How fast can I get to market? This is a question I hear from founders and business leaders alike. Speed is a competitive advantage in this market. That's why Airwallex has invested in ready-made financial solutions for platforms and marketplaces - making it easy for them to embed financial technology into their existing products at speed. We're partnering with Square Peg to host an exclusive roundtable breakfast on July 3 in Melbourne. With insights from Airwallex's Global SVP of Product, Shannon Scott, and Square Peg's Principal Investor, Lucy Tan - I'd love to invite my network to be part of an incredible discussion on the most effective financial models for scalable growth. Here are some of the questions that will be covered: 🏁 In today's competitive environment, speed to market is everything.... how can founders leverage embedded finance in their product roadmap? ⺽ Scalable growth is dependent on graduating from SaaS to monetised transactions, true or false? Why? 📈Square Peg has a history of backing payments founders early in their journey... what makes this space so interesting to a VC? Has that interest shifted with changing market dynamics?

Today is officially a good day on multiple fronts: 1. I am in New York.     2. 150+ people turned up to the Fintech B2B Marketing Community  Conference and awards, listened, contributed, and championed fintech marketing as a discipline.     3. I am writing this while enjoying a cocktail in Georgia O’Keeffe's former NYC art studio.     4. The Metia team won two awards for work that was judged as standout by a group of our peers (but more of that later through official channels).     5. I had the privilege of speaking on a panel with some amazing, funny, and smart people – thanks for making it easy: Bruce Morris of TabbFORUM, Alyssa G. of Bloomberg, Erika Schwartzmann of FundGuard, and Jan Deahl of Drake Star. These are the headlines that stuck with me: • 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲, whether we like it or not [via the 'Godfather of Martech' Scott Brinker]      • You learned by playing when you were a kid, play with AI now, just 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 [𝘃𝗶𝗮 Zeev Wexler 𝗮𝗻𝗱 Aniko Nakazawa DeLaney] • 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 [𝘃𝗶𝗮 Zeev Wexler] • 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 - make friends with your COO, CFO, and CRO and build score cards that make you all shine [via Debra B.]    • 𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 [via everyone.]    • 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲.
