/  THE LAB  ·  LIVE ARCHIVE

Every build, essay,
and observation —
shipped in the open

An open archive of every system I ship, every essay I write, every fund I work with, every post I publish. Drafted in Notion, reviewed by me, published when ready — and increasingly seeded by a small set of agents I’m building to watch my Slack, GitHub, and the wider VC world.

Updated when I publish. Follow along on LinkedIn, X, or via RSS.
