> Founder. Sold companies to Twitter, Indeed & Zillow for over $100m.

3x founder. CEO of Laskie (acquired by X in 2023) which helps companies hire great people.

Previously: sold two companies for over $100m.

I love founder-led sales. 

Took my last three companies from $0 to $1.5m, $2.5m, and $3.7m in founder-led sales before I hired a sales team.

Built 200,000+ followers on X/Twitter, share takes on business in my newsletter, and co-host of a top tech podcast.

Things I love to chat about:
- starting a company
- going from $0 to $1m+ in founder-led sales
- how to get your first customer
- or, how to get your first 1000 customers
- go-to-market strategies
- raising money from VCs
- hiring & managing
- selling your company
- M&A advice

- scaling a Twitter brand
- & more
