Writing
Lessons from building companies across six industries: the wins, the pivots and the chapters most advisors edit out. No theory. Just what I learned by doing it.
Why I share the whole story
Most advisors share the highlight reel. I share everything: kitchen table to NASDAQ to the hardest chapters, because that is the part that actually helps founders.
The hostile shareholder who taught me governance
An investor group tried to take the company we founded. One clause stopped them. The governance lessons every early-stage founder should learn before they need them.
Scaling from 2 to 450 people
Scaling from two founders to 450 people isn’t one journey. It is four different companies wearing the same name, and each one breaks in a different place.
Raising $60M, from friends and family to NASDAQ
Every stage of capital is a different buyer wanting a different thing. Friends and family buy you. Angels buy the bet. Venture buys the outcome. Institutions buy predictability.
The co-founder relationship
The most important relationship in your company is the one founders think about least before they are in it. Lessons from more than a decade with the same co-founder.
