Nancy Song shared thisSo proud to be a (very very small) part in this INCREDIBLE milestone! Years of hard work from the entire Revolut AU team went into making this happen!!!!! Huge congrats to the team and can’t wait to take Revolut to the next level! 🏦🚀Nancy Song shared thisWe are now officially a bank in Australia 🇦🇺 This is a historic milestone: Revolut is now the first global fintech to secure an unrestricted ADI licence in Australia, and our first entity in the APAC region to become a licensed local bank. Backed by a commitment to invest AUD$400 million into our Australian operations over the next five years, we are bridging the gap between secure, regulated local banking and borderless global finance. For our existing Australian customers, the transition will be completely seamless. Your Revolut app, account details, and cards will continue to operate as usual. Revolut Bank (ABN 21 634 823 180) is a registered Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) in Australia, and holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL & Australian Credit Licence number 517589). Please read the Target Market Determination before deciding whether our products and services are appropriate for you. Revolut is not a bank in all the countries it operates in, visit Revolut.com for your local entity.

Nancy Song shared this🔟 months, 5️⃣ countries, & setting up 1️⃣ brand new life in Australia later, I’d like to share the exciting news that I’ve started a new role as *Head of FP&A, Australia* at Revolut – freshly named World’s Best Digital Bank by Euromoney for the 2nd consecutive year!! & yet it’s only the tip of the iceberg in Australia! As FP&A lead, i’m excited to take my love for forecasting, modeling, and driving business strategy to take Revolut AU to the next freakin’ level 🚀🚀🚀🪐🪐🪐 It’s a super exciting launching off point for my career in Australia and already I can tell I’m working with so many sharp, ambitious, and motivated individuals. – But enough of the work updates… I also wanted to share some of the ‘boring’ moments from the last year… (if you all remember, my goal during this break was to “find and appreciate boredom”) 👉🏻 Saying an official goodbye to America at my 6th Burning Man, the windiest, wettest, most weather challenged burn I’ve had so far 👉🏻 Committing to reading for fun (currently averaging 2 books a month! And started a book club!) 👉🏻 Spending our 1 year wedding anniversary in Don Det, an island in Laos, cut off from the modern world 👉🏻 Breaking my heart immersing in Cambodian and Laotian culture and all the beauty (amongst pain..) that comes with their history 👉🏻 Consulting for 3 very different clients (a bridal boutique, a pizza joint, and a Series A tech scaleup) – each of which were both a validation to my skills, but at the same time a humble moment that there’s still so much to learn. 👉🏻 Going mini-viral for my Australia vs USA tiktoks ;-) 👉🏻 My first authentic Australian sausage sizzle lol … there’s so much more, but I won’t bore you all !! 🇦🇺 If you’re in Australia, reach out! Would love to build my network with like-minded individuals.

Nancy Song shared this⬇️ Breaking my linkedin purge to repost a 'proud wife' moment ⬇️ So proud of Rob Dickens for taking the leap and starting what is TRULY the forefront of experience led storytelling, Rare Experiences As an avid believer in experience curation (whether that be through 1,000 person Miami art takeovers with Pew Pew NYC or hosting themed parties at our Brooklyn home for 20 people...), I truly believe they are the most memorable ways to make an impact and bring pure 🤩 joy into the world. 👉🏻 click through & take a look!-- https://lnkd.in/esUW8wT3 --- & for those of you interested in what ✨ I'm up to ✨... watch this spaceNancy Song shared this2025 was a big year of change for me. I left media after 15 years. I left MediaCom/WPP Media after 13 years. I left NYC after 11 years. I started year 1 of my new venture - building immersive, destination experiences. I haven’t yet had the words to summarise the gratitude and fondness I feel towards MediaCom/WPP Media for all the lessons, connections, and memories, but I wanted to attempt to acknowledge that here - Through WPP I met some of the most brilliant minds I’ll ever encounter, and their mentorship/partnership stretched my brain into all sorts of uncomfortable, illuminating shapes. I saw the company and industry evolve through interrogation of the “bigger picture”, “systems thinking”, “people-first” ingenuity, and a relentless thirst for “breakthrough” ideas - every lesson expanding my purview as an ambidextrous practitioner. Even better, the people I met grew me as a human. Many become my closest friends, even attending my wedding last year as guests or groomsman. I have so much to be thankful for. If you were part of this journey, thanks for being an absolute legend 👍 This year, my amazing wife, Nancy, and I begin our life in Melbourne. And I have the privilege of kicking off my most exciting venture to date - Rare Experiences (https://lnkd.in/eU-2djft). Rare Experiences (Rare X) is a partner company to Rare Entity, founded by visionary entrepreneurs Rich Britton, Dominic Joseph, and the legendary Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics (as featured last month in the UK Guardian - https://lnkd.in/e5NMFguG). The singular focus at Rare X is world-building - turning iconic stories into living destinations. Places you step into and don’t want to leave. Our team and partners fuse creative mastery with expert operations and, together, have a universe of high calibre experience across US, UK, EU, and AUS. We work with artists, athletes, storytellers, and makers - the people who carry worlds inside them. We amplify those worlds in limited-run spectacles, touring exhibitions, immersive museums, and retail experiences, and with each experience we curate unique and powerful partnership opportunities that allow brands to craft marketing from real stories, not artificial emptiness. We are not an agency, but an accelerator and co-author. We offer a full wheel of modular services, including access to capital. That means we do not require a brief, just imagination, collaboration, and rare ideas :) Much, much more to come... Reach out if you’d like to chat!

Nancy Song shared this👋🏻⚠️ Out of Office -- Temporarily ⚠️👋🏻 After a few “congrats on 3 years at Fundraise Up” anniversary messages, I realized it was time for a little life + professional update! 🚨 TL;DR: In August 2025, Rob Dickens and I packed up our life in New York, quit our jobs, and set off on our next adventure: we’re moving to Melbourne, Australia! ✈️🇦🇺 -- After 14 years in NYC finance (the last 5 in high-growth tech), I’ve chosen something I’ve never allowed myself before: 😌 boredom 😌. “Boredom is a luxury” is a phrase I once read that stuck with me. Growing up Chinese American, living in New Jersey / New York, and working in finance trained me into a constant GO GO GO mindset: better grades, bigger titles, better salaries.. even better parties... I honestly THRIVED in it -- but for the first time, I asked: do I want or need to keep going? So instead of “what’s next?”, I chose “who knows?” Last month, Rob and I quit our jobs, packed our bags, said goodbye to our life in New York (and our cat 😭) to move across the world with a plan to have no plans. 😝 🙏🏻 This is NOT a forever goodbye to my Finance career. I’m immensely proud of what I’ve built -- from a decade in Finance/FP&A at Citi, dabbling in entrepreneurship with Pew Pew NYC and Bloc Collective, my first pivot into tech at Riskified, to lastly (and most impactfully) scaling Fundraise Up through a high-growth chapter and a Series B. I laughed, learned, celebrated, and grew alongside some of the most talented, kind people I’ve ever met. I’m carrying those lessons forward, excited to eventually bring them into my next chapter -- one that will likely look different, but be just as meaningful. 🙏🏻 -- ✈️ 2025 Travel Plans (aka “chasing summer”) ✈️ 🔥 Burning Man 8/22–9/3 ✅ 🇻🇳 Hanoi 9/5–9/14 ✅ 🇱🇦 Laos 9/14–9/24 🇰🇭 Cambodia 9/24–10/1 🇻🇳 Saigon 10/1–10/5 🇮🇩 Bali 10/5–10/?? 🇦🇺 Melbourne 10/??–12/11 🇦🇺 Sydney 12/11–12/20 🇳🇿 New Zealand 12/20–?? Send any travel tips my way, and ping me if you’d like to follow along on socials! -- 👋🏻 See you all again here when I’m #opentowork (there are bets at the FRU office that may be earlier than I think, haha) -- until then, here’s to allowing time for boredom and the joy of not always knowing what’s next.

Nancy Song reposted thisNancy Song reposted thisBig news from OpenAI: a $50 million commitment to help communities build with frontier AI. This is a good development - especially for nonprofits.Too often, the conversation around AI and philanthropy starts with “efficiency” and ends with cost-cutting. But that misses the point. AI isn’t just about optimizing backend workflows. It’s about unlocking capacity - so organizations can deliver more meals, ship more emergency kits, expand more education programs, and do it all with fewer resource constraints. At Fundraise Up, we’ve seen firsthand how transformative tech levels the playing field. When nonprofits are given access to the same digital infrastructure as enterprise companies, their reach and impact grow exponentially.This investment in community-led use cases is a step in the right direction, and we’re hopeful it marks the beginning of a deeper, more inclusive collaboration between the tech world and the social sector. https://lnkd.in/gzgx3BAx #AIforGood #Philanthropy #Nonprofits #OpenAI #FundraiseUp

Nancy Song shared thisFollowing up my exciting news last week ... with more!!! -- ⭐ Fundraise Up has raised $70 million growth capital to empower nonprofits worldwide! ⭐ To my friends & network, if you were wondering why I was ignoring your calls, or taking weeks to respond to your emails, or not at that happy hour -- it's because of this amazing effort which consumed my time (awake and asleep 😴, in the US and in Australia/New Zealand) from Oct to Dec. I'm so proud of our company, our non-profits, our team, and in particular my superstar Finance Team who were involved in the raise (Lebanos Mengistu, Tanner Smith, Andrés López Pérez, CPA, Gleb Onishchenko) -- every little effort in 4Q (and always) was so appreciated!! THANK YOU ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 https://lnkd.in/gDw62YpF -- This milestone enables us to push boundaries in innovation, expand globally, and deliver AI-driven solutions that transform online fundraising. This is a pivotal moment for the sector — it’s time to ensure every nonprofit has access to tools that drive meaningful impact. Let’s keep building a future where technology and philanthropy go hand in hand. #WorldClassFRU

Nancy Song liked thisNancy Song liked thisARR is the wild west of SaaS metrics. ARR is a solved problem in subscription pricing. Sign $100k a year = $100k of ARR. Usage pricing breaks this. The number moves every month, so "ARR" becomes a choice about what to annualize... and public companies don't agree on this Datadog, HashiCorp, and DigitalOcean take last month's revenue x 12 MongoDB annualizes the trailing 90 days SaaS Metrics Standards Board takes a hard line of only counting contracted minimums. Overage isn't recurring, can't count it as ARR Snowflake and Twilio don't even report ARR, analysts just compute "implied ARR" Four methods four different ARR outcomes based on the same billing data Usage pricing has been an evolving learning for me, and I've learned its hard because of this. It's essentially 3 terms affecting the accuracy of the metric: 1. Sales volume estimate of ARR (set before anyone goes live, based on customer given data... Usually over optimistic) 2. The share of volume that actually ramps (and how fast volume ramps) 3. Customer volume volatility (seasonality showing up as fake expansion or contraction) If you run finance at a usage-based company, drop in the comments how you approach this.

This is a high-autonomy seat reporting directly to our founders, owning FP&A, treasury/cash management, and vendor & banking negotiations for a fast-growing fintech serving Hispanic immigrants across the US. If that's you, or someone in your network, I'd really appreciate an intro! 💯

Nancy Song reacted on thisNancy Song reacted on thisFive years ago, I moved to New York City determined to learn, grow, and make the most of every opportunity. Along the way, I've had the privilege of working in Investment Banking and Strategic Finance at high-growth companies, building lifelong friendships, and finding meaningful ways to give back to my community. I'm excited to share that this fall, I'll be joining the MIT Sloan MBA Class of 2028. As I close this chapter, I'm especially grateful for the mentors, colleagues, friends, and family who have invested in me. Your support has made this journey possible. A few highlights I'm especially proud of: • Advising Fortune 500 companies on multi-billion-dollar transactions • Supporting Fundraise Up's $70M Series B financing • Building and contributing to high-impact Finance teams • Publishing research on the future of venture capital in Africa • Helping lead record-breaking fundraising efforts with the Futures and Options Junior Board • Serving as Vice President of the Ethiopian Community Mutual Assistance Association for the Tri-State area I'm excited for this next chapter at MIT Sloan and for the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute alongside an incredible community. Here's to what's next.

Nancy Song reacted on thisNancy Song reacted on thisNow that the dust has finally settled, I’ve had a moment to step back and reflect on what has undoubtedly been one of the biggest milestones of my career so far 🚀 Two weeks ago, we officially launched Revolut Bank Australia! Building and launching a bank from the ground up is no small feat. I am incredibly proud to have played a part in this journey alongside an absolutely world-class team. The late nights, the complex problem-solving, and the sheer dedication from everyone involved have been nothing short of inspiring. Seeing the phenomenal media coverage and the market's reaction over the last fortnight has been the ultimate reward. It is amazing to see our hard work translating into something that will genuinely reshape the banking landscape and bring better financial products to Australians. For those who missed the news amidst the chaos, I've dropped a few coverage highlights in the comments. A massive thank you and congratulations to the entire Revolut Australia team and all of the many, many people across the business who supported this incredible milestone. We're just getting started 🚀 #Revolut #RevolutBankAustralia #Banking #CareerMilestone #Innovation

A lot of these valuation debates 👇 miss where fintech economics are actually determined. It’s not just about product or the implementation of AI. It’s actually about infrastructure: data access costs, routing decisions, vendor dependency, etc... These are the factors that actually shape margins, but they’re usually invisible in growth narratives. Companies like Stripe and Ramp seem to understand the significance of good infrastructure: they’ve built control not just at the UX layer, but deeper in the stack. Will more fintechs follow suit, or simply keep optimizing the surface while the economics sit underneath? #openbanking #fintech #openfinance #financialdata #payments

The middle class, an equilibrium marker for societies with economic balance, is slowly disintegrating, and the elimination of ACA subsidies looms as a reminder of this. Meanwhile, Congress seems oblivious or at least confused with how to proceed in a way that honors their party lines with little fortitude for innovation like we see in the actual business world. What’s at stake for some American citizens? Well, just one example is the looming 200-500% in healthcare premium for millions of Americans. And sure - ACA / Obamacare has been no silver bullet, but Gen Z’ers or those born prior to 2010 probably don’t realize that they had friends and family who could not get coverage for ailments like MS, bipolar disorder or having a previous cancer diagnosis. Like taxes, healthcare takes a village. The MRI’s, radiology, labs, vaccines and yes - even administration that gets often chastized - is all part of a mega medical ecosystem that is supposed to balance risk for citizens. Of course, the extremes are unrealistic and neglecting to negotiate with each other demonstrares a cultural divide that - in a real corporation - would possibly lead to restructuring and at least concerned stakeholders… Extremes won’t work: 1️⃣ Giving away healthcare, eliminating competition, and hoping the government can print enough money seems doomed. 2️⃣ Or eliminating all social medical programs for those in poverty or lower middle class and expecting those consumers to keep up with inflation and cumulative healthcare cost seems like a recipe for disaster. Then again what hasn’t worked could use some lessons learned: 📈Mandating businesses with over 50 full-time workers to offer health insurance has failed, as small and medium-sized businesses struggle to scale. 💥Attempts to bust unions through Right to Work laws have also failed, leading to lower pay and fewer subsidies for union employees in those states. And more likely ideas could use a midas touch before implementation: Raising the Medicare age to 70 is probably needed since people are living longer; though is asking senior citizens to work longer years a narrative we want to promote? We also expect employers to rely on AI and scale back the workforce, reducing healthcare costs; though “how many jobs” will be created and what will broad-reach training look like for students and current professionals. This is neither a complaint nor a manifesto. It’s just a reality that inaction is not a solution because our desire to control healthcare cost is not a partisan issue. #Healthcare #MedicareReform #ObamaCare #TrumpCare #PriceTransparency #Congress #GovShutdown https://lnkd.in/gtCRi7TD
