PS We’re looking for a few people who’d like early access to The Skiff’s New Year, New Workplace offer (limited to 20 people).

Brighton Dynamic from The Skiff Most billion-dollar companies make me nervous. That’s especially true when a small business has to depend on one of them. But for more than a decade, almost all my income has flowed through one billion-dollar company before reaching me. Four of the SaaS businesses I helped reach $1 million in annual recurring revenue used it. The Skiff has collected £1.95 million in coworking membership fees through it too. That company is Stripe.
