I write about my founder and advisor experiences with building companies, teams, finding the right go-to-market, positioning and pricing strategies and ultimately product market fit. I built 10+ companies as a founder/co-founder and worked with 100+ companies as advisor or coach, both in web2 and web3 so there's lot to share π
