My co-founder and I bootstrapped our first startup in 2010, growing it to #244 on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
During this time, we developed a repeatable process for scaling tech-enabled startups -- a playbook we continue to execute today as the cofounders of Metric Collective, our startup studio / incubator.
Metric's focus is on building businesses that apply technology, data analytics, and digital customer acquisition to displace entrenched incumbents in large industries. You can find our talented assembly of passionate entrepreneurs, engineers, designers and digital marketers in our headquarters in New York, NY and Santa Monica, CA. (Or sometimes out in the woods.)
In addition to my work at Metric Collective, I enjoy helping new founders analyze and improve their businesses. If you'd like to get in touch, please reach out to me via a mutual contact.
