The Truest Tragedy in Utah

Though the Queen may have died, and the UK is still in mourning, it doesn’t hold a candle to the news that Blake Murray (Founder/CEO) of Divvy), is stepping down from his equally royal station. Cancel all sporting events and change your LinkedIn to a picture of you wearing all black.

In a lengthy post, Murray reminds us that Divvy was bought for $2.5 billion and that they operated without a culture until one was born “out of our very organic process.” (Translation: Culture was born out of demanding that people be cool, and think the founding team is cool, and that Divvy is super cool…or GTFO).

He goes on to thank a few key people he worked with, starting with LinkedIn-fluencer extraordinaire Sterling Snow, and THEN his actual Co-founder Alex Bean (we aren’t reading into that because ‘S’ comes before ‘A’ in the alphabet…keyboard…uh, thank you list).

Mo Money, No Problems

Quick reminder that Murray has sold more than $150 million dollars of stock in the past year through the acquisition of Divvy by Bill.com, and still holds a lot more.

Murray also famously posted on LinkedIn in 2020 (a short time after conducting layoffs) about how the credit-slingin-company had just hit topped its greatest quarter ever, and how pumped they were that the business was cRuShInG. That post has since been deleted (wisely), but it will live on in our hearts and minds forever.

One wonders just how Murray will survive this transition, and how many fish he truly will catch (Editor’s Note: Blake’s profile picture features a fish now! Is there anything he can’t do!?)
