I’m here to help founders get acquired on their terms and have fun building along the way.

Startup ideas are worth zero without execution.

Everyone has ideas but few execute.

Execution is what turns an idea into a company, a product into revenue, and a dream into an acquisition.

There are millions of domains registered and pitch decks written every year.

But only a fraction ever ship, sell, or scale.

An idea is just potential energy.

Execution is the conversion.

Andrew Gazdecki 

Startups aren’t built in months.

They take years just to find product market fit.

Even the fastest moving founders spend a long time in the eating glass.

The biggest companies we admire often took a decade to become “overnight successes.”

Brand, culture, and customer trust all compound slowly over time.

If you can’t commit a few years, it’s probably not worth starting.

Keep going.

Startups come with guaranteed pain and chaos. 

Things break, people doubt you, cash run low. 

But if you’re the type who can adapt, learn, and thrive in it...

You’ll figure it out.

Keep going.
