> 5x Exit CTO | Yammer → Microsoft ($1.2B) | Nextdoor (IPO) | 1B+ events/sec | a16z Speedrun

Leave with an action plan, not advice.

20+ years. 5 exits. 1B+ events/sec at scale.

I've built infrastructure that scaled to IPO (Nextdoor, 100M+ users), sold for $1.2B (Yammer→Microsoft), and survived acquisition integration (Including YouTube→Google). I've hired the first 5 engineers and grown orgs to 200+. I've pitched Sand Hill Road, passed a16z Speedrun, and closed bridge rounds during market crashes.

Now I help technical founders avoid the expensive mistakes I made,and skip the ones I didn't.

What you get:
→ No slides. No upsells. Just answers.
→ Battle-tested patterns from 5 company lifecycles
→ What VCs see in your pitch that you don't
→ The 1-3 things to fix this week (not 47 things to fix someday)

I speak at QCon, LeadDev, advise portfolio companies for top-tier VCs, and co-organize Code & Capital (the market-first hackathon). 10% of proceeds support DoubleUnion.org
