René Lacerte: Building BILL to Process 1% of US GDP

Episode 010 of Between Two Founders: René Lacerte has spent nearly three decades building the financial infrastructure that powers millions of small businesses. As the founder and CEO of BILL, he has created a platform that now processes over 1% of US GDP, serving nearly half a million customers and 9,000 accounting firms. In this epsiode with Jeff Seibert, René shares his journey as a fourth-generation entrepreneur. He introduces the concept of "Owner Mode" as his alternative to the founder mode vs manager mode debate, and shares his contrarian view that SMBs don't want more AI, they want less work. The episode also marks the launch of the Digits × BILL partnership, designed to simplify and automate financial operations in real time while reducing manual work and errors.
