We turned a graph into a mountain for the new cover of Nomad Letters. Preorder it @stripepress
And now you can preorder the NOMAD LETTERS (out December 1!): press.stripe.com/nomad-letters
For years these letters have circulated (at first, unofficially) among investors, acquiring a devoted readership. We wanted to give them a permanent home in print.
Nick and his partner Qais Zakaria’s record is extraordinary. The letters are the account of how they got there, featuring everything from studying Amazon and Costco (Nomad’s defining investments)—to visiting cement plants in Zimbabwe, and beyond.
They’re candid about their mistakes and curious about the forces that shape investors’ behavior: incentives, psychology, and the wisdom (or foolishness!) of the crowd.
Since closing the fund, they’ve devoted their time to philanthropy, a journey Nick recounts in the lovely foreword he wrote for this edition.

Out now! Built to Grow: A Handbook for High-Performance Sales Teams, by Stephanie Friedman: press.stripe.com/built-to-grow
I love all of the books in our catalogue, but I particularly love the turpentine collection: High Growth Handbook, An Elegant Puzzle, Scaling People, and now, Built to Grow!
Building a sales function—especially today—is more of an art than a science. Stephanie has more than 20 years of experience building 100+ person sales teams, and advising some of the fastest-growing companies in the world on how to do the same.
I hope you love it as much as we do.View quoted post on X
