Shifting gears.
After building Etna Street Capital, I’m now focused on Kove — an AI assistant for small landlords (<10 units).
It'll handle rent, repairs & leases through chat. No dashboards. Just done.

If you’ve ever juggled tenants, leases, repairs and dashboards while also living life… this one’s for you.

Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI:
Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible.
1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun.
2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love.
Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI.
Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.
@ankurnagpal Do any of these leverage full context of loyalty programs + credit cards? At first glance, it seems they all just handle itinerary planning and booking…
@MalcolmJess Correct. I believe Stripe could get the job done. BUT ACH compliance, dispute risk, state rent law compliance, bookkeeping and audit trail, and insurance layer need to be taken into account if built via ground up software
