I’ve founded two startups, one of which I grew from zero to a global team and sold. The other taught me more expensive lessons.
I’m currently Head of Engineering at Kombo, a unified API. Before that, I co-founded Passbase, a digital identity company we took from idea to acquisition, and Midlane, building tools for frontline teams.
Over the last decade I’ve made most of the mistakes a technical founder can make, e.g. hiring too fast, shipping too slow or confusing activity with progress. This newsletter is where I write about them honestly, so you can skip a few of the mistakes I’ve made.
What you’ll get: candid lessons on engineering leadership, building products from 0 to 1, and the messy realities of startup life that the books tend to skip over.
I also angel invest in early-stage startups I believe in. Some of the teams I’ve backed include Wemolo, Turnkey, Dashworks, and others.
If you’re a technical founder, an engineer moving into leadership, or just someone trying to build something real, this is for you.
