This is my first magazine cover.

With the stat

I made the cover of Pipeline.

Issue 03 is the Series B issue, with 12 marketing and growth leaders whose companies raised $1.38B between them. I'm on cover 11. It's about Stripe agreeing to buy OpenRouter 3 months after its Series B.

Thanks to @Alex Muresan for making it and to @Reach AI for sponsoring it.
