My full story:




After college I spent a couple years building Gametakes - an app to record a podcast from your iPhone. Gametakes grew virally on reddit and taught me a lot about how to get customers at scale and build retentive products. But it was hell building this company.

It was my 8th attempt at launching a consumer product. We ended up selling it, but I was burnt out. This was a very dark time, and I consider 2017 to be rock-bottom.

I wanted to take a break from building my own stuff, so I joined an awesome YC startup - OneSignal. This exposed me to B2B, and I haven't turned back since.

When GPT 3 was announced, I left OneSignal and built my first saas app. It was AI SDR that would write cold emails for you. It grew insanely fast, crossing 10k MRR in weeks, but I learned this is a terrible business. Do not build an AISDR! I sunsetted the product after 6 months, feel free to DM me to learn more.

The silver lining from building that product was coming up with the idea for pandapose, and AI image generator. That got acquired.

After that I built Paage. It lets you put all your sales material into one trackable link.

Paage grew quickly, hitting 200k+ ARR in its first year. Today, Paage is used by thousands of AEs.

In October of 2024, I started getting scared that a simpler, more stripped down version of Paage with AI baked in would kill the business. It was a risky move, but I decided to bet the farm on building that product in parallel to running Paage. Why let someone else profit off my demise :)

This product is called Send.co. I think it'll be very big, but we shall see. I share updates regularly of things I'm learning building it and what I'm shipping. 

You should follow along. If you read all this lemme know, would love to connect.

Day in the life of a B2B SaaS Founder, part 3

I'm launching something new that automates what every GTM team does manually.

Been building this for months. Use cases are insane..

It solves two problems every sales team has:

1) How do I make every rep sell like my best one?
2) How do I answer buyers instantly without slowing deals down?

Send now solves this. More details to come soon...

I'm giving early access to a small group who want to share feedback.

If you wanna try it, comment below and I’ll DM you.

🚚 FREIGHT SHIPPERS 🚚

Are you looking for someone prompt, passionate, and willing to dispute re-classes & re-weighs?

STAC Solutions doesn’t pay invoices until we agree on it if it doesn’t match the quote. 

We provide fair rates and a tech stack (TMS) that allows you to have reporting, address book & inventory storage to make shipping easier. 

We partner independently with Priority1 to give you the buying power of a large 3PL with management level of a small business. 

Our solutions include nationwide carrier options for Truckload, LTL, Expedited & Flatbed freight, to name a few. 

If you’re stuck or want a second opinion on a project, reach out. Something I do unique from others is tell you flat out what the market indicates carriers are paid. This way, you know if you’re being given a fair rate or if your current provider is raking you over the coals. 

Shipping is expensive. It is a rendered service that doesn’t often get discounted. We try to be fair up front and I personally opt out of rate increases for my customers. 

If this looks like something your company could benefit from, please reach out to see if myself or my team can help optimize your process. 

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:

We are grateful to be working with Esslie at STAC Solutions. Previously, we had problems with getting responses from our agent and also had issues with unresolved damaged freight.  Esslie came at just the right time. We were excited to have someone local, friendly, and well informed. Her knowledge has helped us navigate which carrier works better for a particular part of the country. She’s been quick to answer questions and help with expedited deliveries. We are so thankful she goes above and beyond to help us get what we need at a great price.

Owner

Providing a high level of service for all freight needs

Expertise in LTL, FTL, Flatbed/Hotshot, Expedited, International 

Prompt in addressing issues or making changes 

Able to assist or take care of any part of the logistics process in regards to quotes, scheduling, follow up, claims, OS&D issues, etc

I've been quiet on LinkedIn lately. I made a huge sales push in Q4 and it paid off - we ended up 19.5% increase in shipment count over our 2024 numbers for 2025!

Looking forward to 2026 and already off to a strong start. I am looking to hire another Operations Manager for the day-to-day and going to keep my sales momentum going! Why not?

Managing has been something I have avoided. My hope was if I was just nice enough and flexible about everything, an employee would want to do their very best and essentially read my mind. As I type that, I realize how crazy and unintentional it sounds. That is going to change this year!

What I am most thankful for is colleagues, mentors and friends challenging and encouraging me in entrepreneurship. I wouldn't grow without any of you, and you know who you are :)

As I grow, I also value privacy so much more than I did before. I have re-written this about 3 different times. I want to provide an update, but I also value keeping my cards close to my chest as the business evolves.

Thank you everyone who follows along - I am so thankful for over 3k of you that view, support and encourage me in these posts! 

If you've ever thought about connecting with me, reach out! My DM's are open. LinkedIn has brought me so many blessings in business & community, don't hesitate!
