Marketer & builder — helping founders get from idea to first user. Bangkok · LinkedIn

Profile

Half-marketer, half-maker, obsessed with the gap between a good idea and its first user. I pair startup marketing and growth with hands-on building — increasingly with AI tools — to help founders move faster. Currently at the Founder Institute, writing a weekly newsletter for ~30k readers.

Experience

Founder Institute 2024 — Present

Help founders discover the programs and community, and show them how to build startups using 15+ years of accelerator knowledge and modern AI. Write and grow a weekly newsletter to roughly 30,000 readers, and build a toolkit that compresses idea-to-launch work.
