04Writing · the newsletter

I write, weekly.

A newsletter on startups, AI, and the craft of building — the things I learn helping founders get from idea to first user.

Readers, every week

Every issue is short, useful, and built for people who are actually trying to build something.

I spend my days at the Founder Institute watching founders wrestle ideas into companies. The newsletter is where I think out loud about what works — positioning, early growth, using AI without losing the plot, and the unglamorous middle between a good idea and its first real user.

No fluff, no growth-hacking theatre. Just the patterns I keep seeing, written plainly.
