Postcards From a Founder Project

Being a founder is one of the most fulfilling and loneliest pursuits you can choose. You break the mould, go against the grain, do something you genuinely believe in, and whether you do it loudly or quietly, the journey is still yours to walk.

This is a project to collect that wisdom.

I'm sending postcards to founders I admire, asking them to share one piece of wisdom, or truth that kept them going when everyone else said to quit. Some you've definitely heard of, some you haven't, but they’re all founders building unconventionally.

If they respond, I share their wisdom here and across social media, newsletter. (If they don't, well, that’s part of the project).

Why this matters:

Founder wisdom could easily be locked in the heads of people who've already made it. Whether they built loudly or quietly, publicly or privately, their insights can help someone else who's walking that same lonely path right now.

This project collects it, shares it and makes it accessible.You'll see responses shared as they come in.

This is Postcards from a Founder. Wisdom from those who've walked the path.
