Standing invitation

Continuing in the grand tradition, a standing invitation.

I like meeting new people. I like talking about tech, business, and sports. If you're doing cool stuff, or are interested in something I'm doing, let me know about it!

A special note for students: A great deal of the success that I've enjoyed in my career to date has been because people bet on me early. I like to pay this forward. Send me evidence of extraordinary achievement, ability, or ambition and I'll be happy to assist you on a project or provide unconventional career advice. Career advice will likely round to "figure out how to join a startup in SF in any capacity as soon as possible."

My personal preferences

Over the years, I have found the following style to be most efficient:

  • I am generally more available outside of business hours. I prefer to schedule calls on mornings/nights/weekends.
  • If you want to ask me about one of my areas of expertise, please send your questions in writing rather than trying to schedule a call right away.
  • If you want a call, I prefer to get your number and try calling a few times until we connect rather than scheduling up front.
  • Please include your phone or WhatsApp number in your message.
  • I try my best to respond to everything, but sometimes forget. Please feel free to follow up.
  • Please read all FAQs before writing. For students, I highly recommend the tips on this page.
