Snowflake Data Marketplace| Co-founder@CN (acq Snowflake)| Investor@Communityfund| I share insights on building start-ups and personal growth

I love building companies. Over the years, I’ve started, scaled, and exited multiple ventures—some bootstrapped to multi-million ARR, others acquired by industry leaders like Snowflake (Cryptonumerics) and AAPC (Semantic Health). 

I was also fortunate to be part of Snowflake Pre-IPO to post-IPO growth phase - seeing what scaling looks like in the product and sales orgs. 

Right now, I’m deep in AI, co-running the world’s largest AI newsletter and launching new ventures at the intersection of AI and enterprise applications. 

I also invest actively—both through a fund and my own syndicate—backing founders who are building category-defining companies.

Always open to great conversations, whether it’s about building, investing, or the future of AI.

Key focus areas:
- Native Apps (2023-Present)
- Global Lead for HCLS Vertical (2021 - 2023)
- Data Monetization Product and 0-1 growth strategy  (2021 - 2022)
- Working across all industries (2020 - 2022)
- Launched EMEA and APAC (2020-2021)
- Cryptonumerics integration (2020)

In 8 lines, Kurt Vonnegut gives some of the best writing advice you'll ever hear.

Then, in my favorite reminder, he ends the letter with:

"The greatest American short story writer of my generation was Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964).

She broke practically every one of my rules but the first.

Great writers tend to do that."

Learn the rules so that you can break them.

Vonnegut's 8 Rules for Writing

Roast my potential book covers. 

What do you like? What don't you like? Which would get you to pick it up off the shelf?

I've created 2 new landing pages over the last 6 months. One converts horribly while the other converts incredibly well. Some weird stats:

- The horrible converting one is priced at $99.
- The incredibly well converting one is priced at $499.

The obvious answer is an audience mismatch -- people expect story related stuff from me, not 'grow your writing business.'

Sure that matters but let's be real not a <1% to 18%+ jump.

So what's the difference?

Very simply -- I ran the second LP through 🇺🇦 Eddie Shleyner's entire Transformational Landing Pages training... and haven't put that effort into the first.

One idea that -- in my opinion -- made the biggest difference:

Fascinations

Eddie says a fascination is "any sentence designed to conjure intense curiosity and compel action, in that order."

Capture the attention, then direct it.

I loved the idea. Loved the entire course.

Eddie's running a crazy BFCM sale. From $999 to $249.

This is my affiliate code, which I'm proud to share: https://lnkd.in/gbKDPAqr

Hands down the most effective course I've taken all year. If you'd like your landing pages to convert more people, it is a no brainer.

PS. Here's the LP that actually converts: https://lnkd.in/gZwScNBr

A few years ago, I went to a $15 open mic in Austin. First comedy show I’d seen.

Dude gets on stage. The crowd goes nuts. It’s Shane Gillis, one of the most popular comedians in the world.

He pulls out a notebook and a pen, grabs the mic, and starts telling jokes.

When the crowd gives one of those loud, genuine laughs, he jots down a note. When the crowd looks at each other, confused, he jots down a note. When the crowd stares at him, expecting more, he jots down a note.

You get the idea. He’s testing jokes. Making a note of what’s connecting and, even more importantly, what’s not.

Then, I imagine, he cuts or changes the parts that don’t connect. Tests them again another night. And repeats the process until the joke, his story, is tight and compelling throughout.

He made me realize:

This is how you can treat Storytelling, too.

Your story is flexible. You can constantly test, get feedback, improve, repeat. Like Shane, what you’re looking for is moments of connection:

- Your boss starts nodding along.
- Someone leans forward in their chair.
- Your beta reader leaves a great comment.
- There’s a spark of interest in your partner’s eye.

You get the idea. You’re searching for that visceral reaction in your audience. When you see it, you double down.

Stories are iterative.

LinkedIn constantly shocks me how helpful people are. So many people took time to share great feedback on the covers for my novel.

Thank you thank you thank you.
