🎯 Product Strategy

A framework for evaluating whether a product has true market potential. It posits that simply being different or incrementally better is insufficient; the product must be distinct, superior in a tangible way, and solve a critical problem that matters deeply to the user.

Core Principles

  • 1.Different is not enough: Easy to copy.
  • 2.Better is not enough: Often just means 'more expensive' or incremental.
  • 3.Must be critical: It has to matter to the end user (e.g., instant access to funds).

"Being different is not enough... Being better is not enough... It has to be better than what exists today in a way that matters to the end user."

🎯 Product Strategy

A methodology for solving complex execution problems by bypassing 'experts' and proxies to understand the fundamental constraints (physics, regulations, manufacturing) yourself. It requires going to the 'factory floor' to test variables directly.

Core Principles

  • 1.Experts often provide 'wonk' answers based on habit, not physics.
  • 2.Don't stop until you reach the end (the physical or regulatory hard limit).
  • 3.Iterate on the raw variables (e.g., laser settings, specific regulation text) yourself.

"You just have to keep pushing until you get to an answer... It's not that you have to do everything yourself, it's that the person who you trust in the execution role, they have to become the expert."

👥 Team & Culture

A hiring philosophy that prioritizes former founders (even failed ones) over traditional corporate candidates. It trades longevity for extreme ownership, speed, and BS-detection.

Core Principles

  • 1.Founders have 'imposter syndrome' mixed with a 'chip on their shoulder'.
  • 2.They cut through organizational bureaucracy and waste immediately.
  • 3.They will likely leave in ~2 years to start their next thing.
  • +1 more...

"If there's any waste or bullshit in your organization, they fucking see it right away and call it out... It's a team that I think is differentially higher output, but also differentially higher attrition."
