The caption it copies

Short

This is my first magazine cover.

Nobody prints Pipeline, so @Alex Muresan made it anyway. Issue 01 puts 20 marketers building pipeline at private $1B+ companies on its covers. I'm on cover 14, for Vercel.

Thanks @Reach AI for sponsoring the issue.

With the stat

I made the cover of Pipeline.

Issue 01 is the Unicorn issue, with 20 marketing and growth leaders at private companies worth about $2.5T between them. I'm on cover 14. It's about Vercel's ARR going from about $200M to a $340M run rate in my first 8 months.

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

Change anything you like. It's your post. After you paste it, retype @Alex Muresan and @Reach AI and pick each one from the list LinkedIn shows, because pasted names don't turn into tags (annoying, I know).
