Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, in this press release. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of financial results as reported under GAAP.
We use non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operating results, and also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures: stock-based compensation expense (non-cash expense calculated by companies using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions), depreciation and amortization (non-cash expense), interest income, provision for income taxes, and, if applicable, restructuring charges or acquisition-related costs.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, (1) stock-based compensation expense has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy, (2) although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets subject to depreciation and amortization may have to be replaced in the future, and our non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements, and (3) adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (c) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

M13 co-founder says communications is key to standing out in venture capital
Sharp, clear and persuasive communications are no longer optional for investors and founders, M13 co-founder Carter Reum said at an Axios event in Cannes. Why it matters: In a world where "everything is commoditized," Reum said, differentiation depends not just on what you build, but how you explain it and bring stakeholders along. What he's saying: "It's never been easier to start a company, but it's never been harder to be a successful company," Reum said. He says their success comes from the commitment to take "a very hands-on approach and then we communicate it. In everything we do, we have to have that reason for being, that reason to win, and that has to be communicated effectively." Between the lines: This also applies to the early-stage companies the venture capital firm invests in, he says. "One of the things that I look for in founders today is the ability to inspire, and what I mean by that, and why that's so important is, when you're starting off, you have to inspire or persuade a customer to take a chance on you," he said. "You have to persuade that key hire to come and leave their cushy job and come work for you. You have to inspire or persuade somebody like me to write you a $15 million check. And if you can do that every day, you have slightly better odds." By the numbers: A plurality of Americans think founders and CEOs need a public persona, according to a recent Morning Consult. Roughly 8 in 10 U.S. adults said a company's CEO affects their perception of that company, according to the survey. Meanwhile, executive posts on LinkedIn have surged 23% since last year, according to LinkedIn data shared with Axios. 70% of Gen Z want to hear from CEOs across social media, while 55% say they'd listen to CEO interviews on podcasts What to watch: Reum predicts AI will supercharge the way marketers and communicators work. Because AI can expedite the creation of content, "experiential events [will] become more valuable," he said. "I think it's people like my wife, [Paris Hilton], who prided herself on authenticity, [who] become more relevant. Because a year from now, a third of the things you look at on Instagram will be AI."

Turn LinkedIn Critics Into Your Biggest Personal Brand Growth Asset
Some people seem to have nothing better to do than add salty comments and share their bad vibes. Trolls are everywhere online. But rather than lose sleep over losers who probably aren't making money or impact, you can use their words to build your success. Your next viral post might come from someone who disagrees with you. And while everyone else hides from challenging comments or gets defensive, the smartest creators on LinkedIn know that critics create the kind of engagement the algorithm loves. They spark discussions that make your content impossible to ignore. Every time someone challenges your ideas, they're handing you an opportunity. Your response shows your expertise better than any polished post ever could. On your way to the top, you're going to ruffle a few feathers. When you show up in your full power, people can't always handle it. It makes them uncomfortable. But this isn't about you, it's about them. Critics are inevitable at some stage of online fame. Your dream clients are watching how you handle pushback. They're deciding whether you're someone worth following based on how you expertly handle disagreement. Treat every critic as a collaborator in disguise. Delete that defensive response. You don't have anything to prove and you don't owe anyone an explanation. When someone questions your methods or disagrees with your approach, they've created a teaching moment for everyone watching. Thank them genuinely for sharing their perspective. Use their comment as a springboard to dive deeper into the point. Your audience learns more from watching you handle objections. Flip the script. Instead of defending, expand. Someone says your strategy won't work for small businesses? Perfect. Now you get to break down exactly how to adapt it for different company sizes. They claim your approach is outdated? Cool. Share the recent data that supports your methods. Every challenge becomes a chance to teach something new while demonstrating your depth of knowledge. Your critics are your best content strategists. They tell you exactly what your audience struggles to understand or accept about your expertise. See past the emotion to pragmatism. There's something in there to unpack. Keep a log of every challenging comment you receive. Their objections show the exact gaps between what you know and what your market believes. That gap is where your most valuable content lives. When someone questions your post about delegation, they're revealing a pain point shared by hundreds of silent readers. Turn that objection into next week's post. Address the concern head-on with a detailed breakdown. Your critic just helped you create content that speaks directly to hidden doubts in your audience's minds. They've done your market research for free. Your composure under pressure builds trust. It's an easy win. When emotions run high in your comments section, your calm response stands out. Address the valid points in any criticism first. This shows intellectual honesty that your audience respects. Correct any misinformation with specific examples or data. Let go of the need to be right. Focus on being helpful. Keep your responses shorter than your critic's comment. This subtle power move shows confidence without aggression. Use their first name. Reference specific parts of their argument to show you've read carefully. End with a question to show you're not afraid. Turn potential conflicts into productive conversations that benefit everyone reading. LinkedIn's algorithm rewards posts with sustained discussion, and your thoughtful responses to critics keep conversations going longer. Your supporters will contribute too. This engagement is gold. The increase in comments over a longer period of time signals to LinkedIn that your content sparks genuine interest. It signals people can't stop talking about your work. Stop seeing negative comments as problems to solve. See them as algorithm fuel. Each response you write creates another notification, another reason for people to return to your post. The longer the discussion continues, the more LinkedIn shows your content to new audiences. Your most challenging commenter might bring in your next thousand followers. Private message your thoughtful critics after the public discussion ends. Thank them for pushing your thinking. Share additional resources that address their concerns. This unexpected move transforms potential enemies into allies. Some of my best LinkedIn relationships started as people who disagreed with my posts. Critics aren't always bad people. They might end up being fans. They've seen how you handle pressure. They've watched you respond with grace and expertise. When they share your future content, their endorsement carries extra weight because everyone knows they don't agree easily. Converted critic to credible advocate in a few simple steps. Critics are LinkedIn growth accelerators in disguise. Every challenging comment creates an opportunity to demonstrate expertise, generate algorithm-boosting engagement, and build deeper relationships with your audience. Your response to criticism shows your true professional character. Don't bother deleting difficult comments. You're better than that. The next time someone challenges your ideas, smile. They picked a fight with the wrong person, and they're about to see why.

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says people are underestimating AI's impact on jobs, but it won't be a 'bloodbath'
Reid Hoffman, the venture capitalist who cofounded LinkedIn, said AI will transform jobs, but he rejected the idea that it will result in a "bloodbath" for job seekers. "Yes, I think people are underestimating AI's impact on jobs," Hoffman said on an episode of the Rapid Response podcast, released Tuesday. "But I think inducing panic as a response is serving media announcement purposes," he said, "and not actually, in fact, intelligent industry and economic and career path planning." The podcast's host, Bob Safian, asked Hoffman about comments made by Dario Amodei, CEO of AI firm Anthropic, in May. In an interview with Axios, Amodei warned that AI companies and governments needed to stop "sugarcoating" the potential for mass job losses in white-collar industries like finance, law, and consulting. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," Amodei said. He estimated that AI could spike unemployment by up to 20% in the next five years, and may eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs within that same period. Hoffman said he had called the Anthropic CEO to discuss it. "'Bloodbath' is a very good way to grab internet headlines, media headlines," Hoffman said. (Axios, not Amodei, used the phrase "white-collar bloodbath.") But, Hoffman added, "bloodbath just implies everything going away." He said he disagreed with this assessment, believing that transformation, not mass elimination, of jobs is a more likely outcome. "Dario is right that over a decade or three, there will be a massive set of job transformation," Hoffman said. But he compared it to the introduction of tools like Microsoft Excel, which were believed by some at the time to mark the end of accountancy roles. "In fact, the accountant job got broader, richer," Hoffman said. He added: "Just because a function's coming that has a replacement area on a certain set of tasks doesn't mean all of this job's going to get replaced." Instead of AI eliminating roles, Hoffman predicted: "We at least have many years, if not a long time, of person-plus-AI doing things." Hoffman isn't the only business leader to question Amodei's AI doomsday prophecy. Speaking at VivaTech in Paris earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he and Amodei "pretty much disagree with almost everything" on AI. "One, he believes that AI is so scary that only they should do it," Huang said. "Two, that AI is so expensive, nobody else should do it." Huang added, "And three, AI is so incredibly powerful that everyone will lose their jobs, which explains why they should be the only company building it."
