Process Over Luck

Turn Ideas into Profits

Volumes have been written on how to fund, manage, and grow startups. I’m building a systematic way to get things off the ground with as little risk as possible and scale them to profitability as a solo founder.

Ideation

Startups begin with a spark, an insight, or a kernel. Learn to become an idea machine and quickly identify trends that could turn into your “next big thing.”

Validation

Think your idea will change the world? It’s hard to know without sharing it with potential customers and collecting their feedback in a systematic way.

Prototyping

Don’t waste years building the “perfect” solution. Learn to launch early and often, iterating your way quickly through options using low- and no-code tools.
