Be Like In-N-Out

More businesses need to be like Chick-fil-A and In-n-Out. The menu is simple, the service is excellent, and the quality is high. Customers don’t have to learn a new menu each month, smile at apathetic employees, or brood over an incorrectly filled order. For those reasons, customers love them.

I've worked on startups my whole life, beginning with the small family farm I grew up on in Central California.

Eventually, I made my way into the technology sector where I've spent 15 years helping build and scale startups including Facebook, Twitter, Quora, and Wealthfront.

Today, I invest in startups and dedicate my time to sharing the startup wisdom I've picked up along the way.
