Writing, thinking, and conversation on the things that matter to ambitious founders.

I write about leadership, strategy, scaling, investment, and the realities of building a business that's worth building. Some of it is practical. Some of it is honest in ways that don't always make it into polished thought leadership. All of it is grounded in real experience; mine and the founders I work alongside.
