He runs two newsletters with 18,000+ subscribers — Founders' Psyche (founder psychology) and Founders' Capital (venture finance). Over the past several years, he has conducted primary research across two major studies: interviewing 100+ C-stage VCs on what they actually look for in founders, and a research collaboration with Plug and Play Tech Center spanning five international startup hubs. The Founders' Stack is built on that research — not guesswork.
