Rayner Turley shared thisEchoing this and adding that it was such a pleasure working with Yiran Li and the great team at Alibaba.com launching our joint #b2b #bnpl program. Looking forward to the continued growth together 📈Rayner Turley shared thisSince completing the ramp last year, Alibaba.com with Balance has grown 10x, expanded into new products, and is now ready to share that momentum publicly. When buyer flexibility meets operational simplicity at scale, growth stops being incremental and becomes exponential.

Rayner Turley shared thisNo mock 🐢 neck this time unfortunately but the same message --> purchasing terms are both expected and required in B2B. So, it's more a question of how you solve for it, not if you solve for it. Most do by running internal credit and accounts receivable teams that lead to high fixed costs and balance sheet risk because it has been the only way. This has changed. Balance works with market leading platforms like Alibaba.com, Instacart, GE, Sony and many others to solve for this need without any risk or additional resources. Not to mention while creating both a better customer experience and internal operations. LMK if you or a friend, or a friend's friend are in this arena. Would love to chat 😊Rayner Turley shared thisNet terms or B2B BNPL? 🤔 The decision comes down to the problem you’re solving for your business customers. In this video, Rayner Turley breaks down how each model supports different buyer needs, and why both can drive higher purchasing power and incremental spend. 📈 Curious to dig deeper? 👀 Explore Net Terms > https://lnkd.in/gtAeKpXR and B2B BNPL > https://lnkd.in/gjGxue6Q #b2bpayments #b2b #b2bcommerce #b2bsales #ecommerce

Rayner Turley reposted thisRayner Turley reposted thisIt was a great sunny day in SF. Instacart offices. and Priya. Moments of reflection are priceless. A great hire who believes in you. The feel of your first real office, or the excitement of $$ in your bank from your first paying customer. That was that kind of moment for me. full of energy and clarity, Priya sat down for a few hours to celebrate our partnership. It was this moment in that room that reminded you of the WHY. Priya - you show up like a pro whether on camera, weekly Zoom calls or-In person! To Robert , Mik, Andrew, David Beck, Carly, the Instacart team, and Balance - for making the complex simple and building something harmonious together.

Rayner Turley shared thisVery cool from our product & engineering teams -- use any generative AI platform (#chatgpt #claude #gemini etc) to manage your #b2bpayments. Dashboards are great, but complimenting them with chat-based data extraction and commands will become status quo sooner than later 🤖 📊 BalanceRayner Turley shared thisBalance Introduces MCP Server, Enabling AI Agents to Analyze and Manage B2B Payments in Real Time “Agentic B2B commerce brings intelligence and autonomy to transactions between businesses,” said Bar Geron, Balance’s CEO and Co-Founder. “As B2B ecommerce continues expanding, incorporating the latest developments in AI is crucial to ensure that merchants and marketplaces can keep up.

Rayner Turley reposted thisRayner Turley reposted this🚀 Full circle moment. In my previous life at Behalf, we powered B-Stock as one of our customers. Back then, we were building the first BNPL for B2B. A company so many wonderful people and founders came out from (shoutout to Tzachi Davidovich, Noa Danon , Jake P. Vacovec, Tomer Biger) Fast forward to today, I’m thrilled to see B-Stock joining the Balance ecosystem, this time to completely transform how their buyers pay and how they get paid. For years, B-Stock has been a leader in B2B recommerce, but like so many enterprise platforms, they’ve had to juggle multiple systems for billing, payments, and reconciliation. Now, with Balance, they’re replacing Stripe, spreadsheets, and legacy banking ACH and tooling with a unified, AI-powered billing and payment infrastructure that automates everything end-to-end: from onboarding, invoicing, and collections to credit management. For me, this partnership represents how far B2B fintech has come: from isolated products solving single pain points to intelligent systems that now power entire business workflows. Couldn’t be prouder to have B-Stock as part of the movement redefining how B2B commerce will look in 2026 and beyond.

Rayner Turley shared thisTypically these types of "top / best of" lists are more political than actual, which is why I don't usually share them. But this is different. The fintech companies chosen by CNBC were highly vetted based on real world performance numbers representing business impact to the customers they serve. I am proud to share Balance has been named to this short list out of 2,000+ vetted companies. A huge testament to the hard work put in every day. It's nice to take a step back and see the impact from time to time. Congrats Bar Geron Yoni Shuster. Well deserved. Humbled to be on this journey with you and everyone else we work with every day ✊Rayner Turley shared thisExciting news: Balance has been named to CNBC’s 2025 List of The World’s Top Fintech Companies! CNBC and Statista analyzed over 2,000 individual companies across seven market segments, evaluating each one against a set of key performance indicators. Balance was awarded in the Payments category. Couldn’t have done it without our incredible team, customers, and partners. Thanks for building the future of B2B commerce with us. 📖 See the full list on CNBC’s website.

Rayner Turley liked thisRayner Turley liked thisMental Health Monday 💜 For years, I thought the goal was to become mentally stronger. Now I think the goal is to become mentally lighter. Every day we carry decisions. Friends. Customers. Family. Employees. Money. Health. The future. Eventually, your mind stops creating because it's busy carrying everything. One lesson I've learned as a founder: Your brain isn't meant to be a storage device. It's meant to recognize patterns. Solve problems. Create. The more I write things down, simplify priorities, meditate, walk, or spend time away from a screen.…. the smarter decisions are made. Mental health isn't just about reducing stress. It's about creating enough space for your best thinking to emerge. Protect your mind at all times. Because it’s a MIRACLE that we’re here building……truly.

Rayner Turley liked thisRayner Turley liked thisAs a product manager, it feels like AI gave me superpowers. As a mother, it means I can now create things for my children I couldn't before. Every night, I read to my son Amir a bedtime story - and I also wanted to read him stories inspired by Arab role models: people who look like us, share our heritage, and face the kind of challenges we do. I couldn't find such stories. So I decided to write them myself. Claude, Gemini, and many, many prompts later, I created a bilingual Arabic-English children's series that Amir loves. It tells the stories of people like Omar Yaghi, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year; Farouk El-Baz, the geologist on the NASA team behind the first moon landing; Amjad Masad, who built Replit into a billion-dollar company; and Mo Salah, part of the Egyptian team that made history at the World Cup last night. Today felt like the right moment to share it. Here's the Amazon link: https://lnkd.in/dsWt_w5t

Rayner Turley liked thisRayner Turley liked thisOne metric from this week's episode has not left my head. PARTNER DENSITY. The average number of partners attached per client project. It sounds like an operational metric. But it is actually a leading indicator of whether your ecosystem is generating revenue or just generating logos. Many VP Partnerships are not tracking it. Most boards aren't asking for this (yet!). Sebastian and I explored this with one of the best in the ecommerce industry, John-David Klausner, in our latest Ecosystem Alpha episode. JD's discussion around 'enabling value' versus 'extracting value' from partners, and proactively building connective tissue between verticalized partner cohorts changed how I think about reporting ecosystem performance to a board. If international expansion is on your roadmap for the next 12 months this conversation is the most useful hour you will spend.

Rayner Turley liked thisRayner Turley liked thisAfter a few meaningful years at Balance, I'm moving on to my next chapter. It's been a wild ride, full of growth, real challenges, and the kind of people you don't forget. I'm so grateful for all of it. A huge thank you to Bar Geron and Yoni Shuster for the trust, the partnership, and honestly, the friendship. Building something from the ground up with you two has been one of the best experiences of my career. To the leadership team and everyone at Balance, thank you. For the late nights, the wins, the tough calls, and everything in between. I learned so much from working alongside you. I'm proud of what we built and the foundation we've laid. Balance is in great hands, and I can't wait to see where it goes next. Excited for what's next 🚀

Rayner Turley liked thisRayner Turley liked thisOne of the biggest takeaways from the The New York Times piece on “code overload” is that #AI is changing where the bottlenecks in software development actually live. For decades, the constraint was writing software. Now, with tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor dramatically increasing engineering output, the constraint is becoming everything after code generation: - testing - security - validation - remediation - operational trust The industry is moving from a world constrained by software creation to one constrained by software assurance. We see this every day within the 80+ active companies we work with. That shift is creating entirely new categories of infrastructure. It’s one reason we’re excited about Silicon Badia portfolio companies like: - Thunders — accelerating AI-native testing and QA workflows Karim Jouini - Corgea — helping teams identify and remediate vulnerabilities in AI-generated code Ahmad Sadeddin - Staris AI — validating real exploitability and reducing noise in modern application security Adam Cecchetti The most sophisticated enterprises we talk to are not looking for “more AI demos.” They’re looking for systems that can safely operationalize massive increases in software velocity. A common misconception is that frontier models alone — whether from #Anthropic or #OpenAI — will solve these problems end to end. In reality, most enterprise customers want much deeper workflow-specific solutions: integrated products that handle governance, validation, remediation, compliance, reliability, and security at production scale. That’s where a lot of the next generation of value creation in AI infrastructure will happen. https://lnkd.in/gtGvgevn
