I’ve spent over a decade learning from smart people at early stage companies. I’ve been on the founding team at 5 and very early at the others. The companies range across many verticals but the majority of time has been spent in the digitization of commerce. This is a space to explore ideas & distill lessons learned. Public writing is a forcing function for learning. If it helps others in any way, that’s a great added bonus. I am cerebral to a fault & a Chicago native.
