I find the bet worth making, then earn the right to finish it.

Ten years building 0→1 products and platforms in vertical SaaS and fintech. Mostly that means research, collaboration, and working out when a bet is actually worth making, then shipping proof along the way that earns the next step. Currently building an AI agent platform at Evernest.
