I’ve written about Why the AI Boom Needs Clean Energy and how to create Energy Abundance in the AI Era. How we’re on the precipiece of a Robotics Breakout Moment and a comprehensive guide to Evaluating Robotics Companies. A retrospective on the last 15 Years of Salesforce Ventures and a 2025 Year in Review. How Gen Z are Becoming VCs. How Julian Shapiro Invests. A Data-Driven Report on AI Pricing and a Framework for Pricing AI Products. Plus I created the entire AngelList Venture Education Center, with guides on everything from VC Equity Financing Documents, What Limited Partners Do, and How to Become an Accredited Investor, to explaining topics like Internal Rate of Return, VC Fee Economics, VC Portfolio Construction, Anti-Dilution Protection, Pro Rata Rights, and SPVs.
I also wrote guides on How to Become an Angel Investor, How VCs Can Pitch Founders, How to Reach the Gen Z Market, How to Distribute Open-Source AI Products, and How to Build a Defensible AI Startup.
I’ve written lots of content geared at SMBs, including How to Use the Profit First Method in Accounting, ACH vs. Wire Transfer: What are the Main Differences?, How (and Why) to Craft Vision, Values, and Mission Statements for Your Startup, Pay Transparency: The Ultimate Guide, What is Business Banking?, and Pave’s Guide to International Compensation Tiers.
Examples of Case Studies I’ve written include this one on Rootly, this one on Gaingels, this one on Secureframe, this one on Cockroach Labs, and this one on TrustCloud.
I’m adept at leveraging data to construct compelling narratives. Examples include how Solo Capitalists Are Gaining on Traditional VC Firms, Inside the Venture Climate Tech Boom, Startups in Emerging Tech Hubs Are Growing Fast, How Does a Founder’s Alma Mater Impact Their Startup’s Markup Rate?, What Percentage of AngelList Seed-Stage Startups Become Unicorns?, Top VC Firms Don’t Outperform the Broader Market at Seed, How Much is Your Unicorn Investment Worth?, After 18 Months, Your Startup Investment Probably Isn’t Getting Marked Up, and The State of AI Investing.
Also check out my AI Pricing Report, Startup Enterprise GTM Report, and my 2021 and 2022 reports on the State of U.S. Early Stage VC.
