Following a 3-year stint in seed-stage venture capital, I've been running [[ 1st10k ]], a startup consultancy, focused on helping new founders make their first $10,000 in revenue, or reach their first 10,000 customers. On the side, I've been running [[ Awthor ]], a ghostwriting agency for founders and CXOs. It began as a solo-venture in my college dorm room, and over 12 years, has slowly and organically grown into a fully-flexible, fully-remote team of 150+ freelance writers, editors, designers, translators, literary agents, and PR professionals. I love reading books, writing poetry, tinkering with tech, and playing chess.
