I write about startups. The operational stuff, the founder mistakes, the things nobody talks about until it is too late. Posts like “Why Every Founder Needs an Immaculate Data Room” and “Work-Life Balance Is Broken” come from building companies and watching others build theirs.

“Why Every Founder Needs an Immaculate Data Room (Before It’s Too Late)” is advice I give every founder: always maintain a data room that is in perfect condition. You do not want to scramble when a deal shows up.

“Work-Life Balance Is Broken” is personal. I now weigh 200 pounds, thanks to the startup lifestyle of 9-9-6, working from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week. Something has to change, and I wrote about what that looks like.

“Your Bug Fix Time Is Your Success Clock” makes a simple argument: the speed at which a startup fixes its website bugs tells you everything about its potential. Fast fixes mean the team cares. Slow ones mean they do not.

“Our AI Startup’s First Office” marks a real milestone. After months of nomadic work life, our stealth AI startup finally got a permanent home. It felt like a step forward.

Fourteen posts and counting. I write about the unglamorous side of startups because that is where most of the work actually happens.
