I owe my entire coaching career to him, as he was the very first person to ask me to coach!" – Matt Mochary, coached the CEOs at Coinbase, Notion, Reddit, and managing partners at Benchmark, Sequoia

About

I'm an entrepreneur/researcher. I co-founded a business that matches startups with executive coaches (let me know if you're a founder/exec looking for a great coach), and created the Breakout List, which you may have seen if you’re a software engineer in startups (let me know if you need help identifying good startups to join).

To all my friends who help with my various random projects - thank you!
