Too many exceptional people are building trivial things that have little chance of becoming important companies.

We’re living through an unusually consequential moment. It demands thoughtful audacity, not opportunism.

After working with @matthewclifford building defensive technology companies, I want to spend my time helping builders who feel this discomfort too.

In April, I’m putting together a small group of founders who reject “find some customers, raise a seed, and we’ll figure it out later.”

If you're one of these people, I'd like to talk.

Full memo in thread.
