Hello!
I've been building start-ups since 2012. Half in the UK and half in San Francisco. I use this blog to share the lessons I've learned along the way about early-stage product market fit and growth.
I am currently the CEO and Co-Founder of Pump Up, a new type of multi-player harness which allows teams to collaborate with agents to run entire business processes.
I started my first real company as part of the very first Entrepreneur First cohort and Y Combinator's S2013 batch. Since then I've built a few things:
- CTO & Co-Founder of Kivo.com: Git for PowerPoint documents. I built the product using Scala, C, and C#.
- CEO & Co-Founder of NStack: an platform for deploying ML models and integrating them into the platforms enterprises used. We helped customers like TripAdvisor, Peloton, and Thermo Fisher.
- CEO & Co-Founder of Datapane.com: the most popular way for data science teams to build and share reports, with hundreds of thousands of users and customers like GIC, NASA, Barclays, and Ubisoft. We also had a partnership with RV Guha's Data Commons team at Google.
My background is technical. I started coding when I was about 12 or 13. My first introduction to programming was writing exploits and keygens in the mid-2000s with a combination of C, Perl, and x86 asm, learned primarily through hanging out on IRC and reading Phrack.
More recently I have been focused on speaking to customers, sales, and fundraising; but I still write a fair amount of code on the frontend.
