Andrew Baisley shared thisCongrats to Iris, of Apayao Provence in The Philippines, on passing her nursing licensure after years of hard work and study. Double congrats on quickly being hired by the Department of Health in Luna! Iris's education was fully funded by the US-based non-profit Agkakabsat International, which I'm involved with. We focus entirely on first generation college students from rural far north Luzon by funding their university tuition and some living expenses while also providing mentorship and guidance. Unlike similar non-profits, we are hyper small & local scale, ensuring a hands-on and personalized approach for every student. We're also entirely non-religious, which is unfortunately unique in this part of the world. This is life changing for these students and their immediate families, who might otherwise be locked into subsistence farming or forced into labor or domestic service roles overseas. Our work, as small scale as it is, breaks this cycle over multiple generations. If you'd like to get involved, drop me a message and I can help connect you with a student seeking sponsorship. Agkakabsat is a US-registered 501(c)3 non-profit and contributions are tax deductible for US taxpayers. Congrats again Iris, we are so proud of you!

Andrew Baisley reposted thisAndrew Baisley reposted thisWe’re hiring. But a little differently from most. We’re remote-first, HQ’d in Dubai, and obsessed with execution over optics. That’s why we’re only bringing people on board fractionally right now; it keeps us fast, sharp, and surrounded by A-players who actually ship. You won’t be “onboarded”; you’ll be *doing* from day one. We’re after people who: 1. Understand the channel and how partnerships really scale 2. Can translate creativity into commercial impact 3. Live our values — high EQ, no ego, zero passengers, done is better than perfect 4. Love Canva ❤️ 👉 Side note: you can read a little more about our Culture & Values here → https://lnkd.in/e68KH2Q6 If that sounds like you, head over to xanadu.co/collective and share your story (and your Superpower 🦸). The fine print: No DMs please - we love structure as much as imagination. And to the recruiters reading: we know you’re the best in the business and each of you wants to tell us how much better you are than all the others…but trust us, we got this 😉

Andrew Baisley posted thisSwitching from Shopify to WooCommerce is not the the faint of heart. We did it, but it wasn’t easy. Has anyone else made this transition? Would love to trade notes. Why did we move? Two reasons: 1. Costs. Shopify has charges around every corner. WooCommerce is significantly less expensive to operate, especially as you scale up. 2. Control. We needed the ability to create custom subscription packages that renew on the 1st of each month, prorating the price for the initial month. We weren’t able to do this on Shopify. We underestimated all the thing that could go wrong in the process. I’ll be honest… we almost gave up, but things are finally looking stable and we’re able to breathe a sigh of relief. Really greatful to my co-founders and partners for navigating this one.

Andrew Baisley shared thisThe Rockee team is celebrating today! We just launched a new product called Rockee Euro Go in partnership with the French national carrier Bouygues Telecom. This plan represents an incredible opportunity for our customers and we believe is unique in the market for two reasons: 1. It includes 60 GB of cross-border European data powered by a tier-1 national carrier (no wholesale, low-priority bulk data here) 2. It's priced insanely at under €30. Compare that to other cross-border European eSIMs with over 50 GB and you'll see that most are 2-3x the price. We don't have the massive marketing budgets of the big eSIM players in the market, but we hope to stand out with unique partnerships like this one.

Andrew Baisley shared thisI was reminded today why we started Rockee more than a year ago. Here's a very quick story. Sorry for the wind noise! Happy Spring to those of you in the northern hemisphere!

Andrew Baisley shared thisWell it doesn’t get any more official than this. Introducing the Rockee truck! Got my new license plates today. This brilliant brand marketing is gonna sell some eSIMs, right? … right?!

Andrew Baisley shared thisIf building an authentic, engaged community is an important GTM motion for your SaaS, you've got to check out thecommunitycode.com Joshua Zerkel is the best community-builder I've ever worked with and he recently started freely sharing his strategies here. We are implementing some of them at Rockee and I always enjoy when his updates land in my inbox - impossible not to learn something new each time. Check out The Community Code!

Andrew Baisley posted thisNew York Network: my awesome nephew Ian Martin Esquero recently graduated with a marketing degree from UCONN. He moved to the city and is looking to land his first role in marketing, advertising, comms or analytics. If you are hiring, hit me up for an intro! You’d be getting a good one - Ian is super smart, hard working and willing to learn.

Andrew Baisley liked thisAndrew Baisley liked thisA few months ago, I stepped down as Tech in Asia's CEO after 16 years. Turns out, I'm bad at sitting still. Since then I've been building for fun. There's a weekend open-source project I'm doing with Ian Tan, semi-seriously. No idea where it goes. We're learning. We're having fun. That's enough for now. I've also restarted writing more regularly, on Substack this time: https://lnkd.in/gZpCBDPE It's where I'll share the unpolished reality of starting over. Candid notes. Frameworks I'm testing. Things I'm building. Lessons I'm relearning as a founder, now from a different seat. If any of that sounds useful, come read. I'd love to know what you're working through too.

Andrew Baisley reacted on thisAndrew Baisley reacted on thisI am proud to launch Tycoon.us, the world’s first operating system for one-person companies. From today on, anyone with an idea can get the entire AI team for coding, marketing, contents, growth, and an AI CEO that manages those agents 24/7. A year ago, I became the first human CEO to be replaced by an AI CEO named Astra. It sounded insane. Since then, Astra helped heyboss reach 100K+ users, got investment by OpenAI and $1M ARR in 30 days for skillboss.co. Now everyone can have the same crew as mine. It's very simple to use: - You text Astra your ideas, goals, tasks, and questions, via iMessage, Slack, Discord etc. - She strategizes, assigns work to AI employees, reviews progress, and makes sure it gets done. - She can manage up to 1,000 agents in parallel, 24/7, while you sleep. The old company was built around headcount, managers, meetings, and layers. The new company starts with one person and a dream. Start your one person company today! https://tycoon.us/

Andrew Baisley reacted on thisAndrew Baisley reacted on thisAfter over a decade, my time at Meta has come to a close. I am incredibly humbled by the caliber of people I got to work alongside and learn from, and so grateful for the friends I made along the way. Thank you all for making the company what it is. Moving on from the people is the bitter part of this sweet transition. I am so proud of what I accomplished at Meta. The career I pursued, network I fostered, the products I helped build around the world with such incredible teams. I am genuinely amazed when I reflect on everything I was able to learn the past 10.8 years. I woke up today feeling optimistic about the future and excited for the opportunity of what’s to come! The horizon is bright.

Andrew Baisley liked thisAndrew Baisley liked thisOn 3rd February 2009, I walked into 18 Soho Square for my first day at Facebook. I figured I'd stay a year, learn the ropes of this new-fangled social media game, then take it to a creative agency, where I thought my career was headed at the time. What followed was 14 years surrounded by some of the best people in the industry. Some became my closest friends, people I still speak to daily, my bridesmaids, witnesses at my wedding, the people I trust most in the world. Others became a network of allies and a community built on a rare shared experience. The kind you can't manufacture. Tomorrow at 4am, some of those people will get an email that seals their fate in the latest round of layoffs. If you'd told me in 2009 that Facebook would do multiple rounds of layoffs to replace people with bots, I'd have been genuinely shocked. It was a company that felt, truly, like it was built around people, until it didn't and it wasn't. To those anxiously waiting for that email tonight: the ex-Facebook community is strong. Use us. Reach out. My DMs are open and I'm always happy to help. Better things are in your future. #metalayoffs #fbfamily

Andrew Baisley liked thisAndrew Baisley liked thisI'm excited to share that I have joined the GTM team at OpenAI, where I'll be helping scale our work across EMEA as our customers continue to adopt AI. A big thank you to Brian Chalif and Sanj Bhayro for the trust and chance to work together. This also marks the end of an incredible 5-year chapter at Asana. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunities and people who shaped that journey. Special thanks to Eamon Duffy, Manu Kapoor, Jessica Chiew and the broader Revenue team I had the privilege to work alongside. Looking forward to what's ahead!

Andrew Baisley liked thisAndrew Baisley liked thisLast week I wrapped up my time at OpenAI after nearly three big, exciting, and meaningful years. I leave with deep gratitude for the opportunity to help scale the Growth and GTM organizations. It was an incredible learning experience - building from the ground up and seeing what it takes to grow quickly and thoughtfully. The brightest spot was, of course, the people. It was a true privilege to work alongside such a smart, driven, and thoughtful group of teammates. I’m cheering them on and know they’ll continue to do amazing things. For now, I’m not jumping into something new right away. I’ll be taking the summer to spend time with my family and recharge after a very busy few years. If you’d like to catch up, please reach out!

Andrew Baisley reacted on thisAndrew Baisley reacted on thisFrom the moment I started working with Jo Gaines, it was clear she was the right leader for this region and this moment. She has spent over two decades building technology businesses across Asia Pacific, from scaling data and audience markets at Salesforce to joining Asana and building our enterprise go-to-market in APAC. She knows this region deeply, she knows our customers, and she knows how to build. Asana is uniquely architected for the Agentic Enterprise and APAC is central to how we win. The opportunity across this region to help organizations operationalize human-agent workflows at scale is enormous, and Jo is exactly the leader to unlock it. Jo leads with empathy, integrity, and a bias for action. She brings the same energy to building teams as she does to building markets, and the trust she has earned with customers and partners across APAC speaks for itself. Jo, congratulations. To our customers, partners, and teams across the region: you are in exceptional hands. Let's go!
