Serial builder and acquisitor who turns beloved niche products into thriving businesses, co‑founder of Tiny and steward of brands like Dribbble, Letterboxd, Serato and AeroPress. Author of Never Enough and a loud, thoughtful voice on product, efficiency and the future of work. Tweets like a founder on espresso: prolific, opinionated, and impossible to ignore.
You call yourself a serial founder, but your tweet history looks like a caffeine-fueled memoir: equal parts brilliant business moves, unsolicited life advice, and the occasional million-dollar bonfire, guess you treat capital like you treat coffee: strong, hot, and sometimes up in smoke.
Built Tiny and assembled a portfolio of beloved, culturally significant brands (Dribbble, Letterboxd, Serato, AeroPress among 35+ others), turning niche passion products into sustainable businesses and earning a massive, engaged audience along the way.
To create, acquire, and nurture small product-led companies that people love, proving that lean, product-focused teams can outcompete bloat and bureaucracy while making work and products more meaningful.
Small teams scale better than layers of management; good products and strong design win hearts and markets; transparency and storytelling attract customers and founders; technology (like AI) should be used to teach, scale craftsmanship, and make everyday life better.
Exceptional at acquiring and scaling beloved niche brands, crystal-clear POV on product and company design, magnetic storytelling that drives massive engagement, and an uncanny ability to turn lessons (and failures) into shareable, viral threads.
Can be blunt and occasionally provocative in public threads, risks oversharing personal losses or hot takes that fuel debate, and may underestimate how nuance gets flattened on X, leading to polarizing reactions.
Use threaded micro‑case studies: break big lessons (acquisitions, product fixes, hiring, failures) into 4, 8 tweet threads with clear takeaways. Pin high-performing threads, repurpose them into short videos/voice clips, host occasional Spaces with founders from your portfolio, engage with creators and designers (Dribbble crowd loves visuals), and finish posts with one tactical takeaway so followers can share and implement immediately.

Shit on @elonmusk all you want, but he has The Now Habit.
As soon as he has an idea, he takes action towards making it happen.
This is inherently chaotic, but for better or worse, it's likely a big part of why he's so successful.
Rapid action, iteration, and experimentation.

I started my company 16 years, 3 months, and 5 days ago.
Today, it went public.
But let's rewind for a second...
5,939 days ago, I was a barista at a small cafe called @2percentJazz2, in Victoria, Canada.
I made $6.50 an hour.
Two guys, Chris and Jeff, started coming into the cafe.
They'd sit there all day drinking espresso and typing away on their laptops, using the wifi.
After weeks of this, I asked them what they did for a living.
Didn't they have jobs?
They told me they were "web designers" and this — sitting on their laptops — was their job.
As I dug in, they told me how it worked:
They asked local businesses if they needed a website, then charged them a couple thousand bucks to make one.
They could whip a website together in a few days, and each make $1,000.
Simple.
This blew my mind.
And at that moment, I realized something:
I wanted to be the guy drinking the espresso, not the one serving it.
Chris and Jeff were clearly smart, but I knew some basic HTML and figured I could do the same.
I decided to try it out.
When I got off my shift, I took the bus over to a book store downtown and bought a book called 'Bulletproof Web Design' by Dan Cederholm (@simplebits) to hone my skills.
Then, I googled "freelance web design jobs" and found a tech job board called Authentic Jobs made by this guy in Utah, @cameronmoll.
There were hundreds of posts, mostly from startups in San Francisco, looking for freelance web designers.
I decided to try to win one of these contracts, but I had a critical insight:
Nobody wants to hire an 18-year-old barista to build their website.
So, I decided I'd create a fake design agency.
Using tricks from Dan Cederholm's book, I whipped together a slick looking site and called my "agency" MetaLab (after the tag in HTML).
The website was very vague as to what exactly MetaLab did, who worked there, or where we were located.
It also featured a cringe-inducing tagline "We Help People Make Cool Stuff."
Like an email spammer, I started sending emails to every single web design job post I could find.
I was met with crickets, until I got an email from a guy named Kavin Stewart (@kavinstewart).
He worked at a startup called Offermatica in San Francisco and told me he needed an interface designed for a web app.
I barely understood what a web app was, but I assured him I could do it.
He proposed a $2,000 USD budget and my eyes went wide.
This was more than I earned in a month, and the project was just a few days of work.
I walked into the cafe the next day and quit my job.
I told myself that if I could just make enough money to wake up whenever I wanted and comfortably make rent, I'd be good.
The rest is history.
But I slightly overshot.
I still own MetaLab, but along the way me and my business partner @_Sparling_ started dozens of companies, then began buying wonderful businesses, including one (Dribbble) — amazingly — from Dan Cederholm, the designer whose book I bought when I first started.
Today, Tiny went public, and as of this moment has a market capitalization of just under $800 million.
I can't even begin to explain how mind boggling this is to me.
This has not been a feat of entrepreneurial genius.
My key skill has been choosing incredible people to work with, both internally and externally, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has worked at Tiny and our various companies over the years.
And a special thanks to @simplebits, @cameronmoll, and @kavinstewart for helping with my first step😉

However, because you know you have a week to complete it, you might find yourself spending a lot more time on it than you need to. \n\nYou'll be more prone to distractions, take longer breaks, or perhaps decide to add more details, tables, graphs, and so forth. \n\nEssentially, the task becomes more complex and time-consuming purely because you have more time in which to do it.\n\nAnd here's how it manifests across organizations:\n\nImagine a big tech company. A social media company with various departments. Each department has tasks that it must complete to contribute to the overall productivity of the company.\n\nNow, suppose each department is given a budget and a set amount of time to complete its tasks for the year.\n\nAccording to Parkinson's Law, each department will use its entire budget and the entire allotted time, even if the tasks could have been completed more efficiently. \n\nThis is because as resources and time increase, departments tend to become more complex and less efficient.\n\nFor example, a department might add more steps to its procedures, requiring more approvals and creating more paperwork, which slows down the process. \n\nOr it might use the full budget on additional personnel or equipment that doesn't necessarily improve productivity.\n\nThe department might also use the full budget to justify the same or larger budget for the next year, since budgets in many organizations are often determined based on the previous year's spending. \n\nThis is a phenomenon known as \"budget padding\" or \"spend it or lose it\" mentality.\n\nInefficiencies can also develop in staff allocation. If a department expands, it might add managerial positions that aren't strictly necessary. \n\nMore employees are hired to manage, creating layers of bureaucracy that may not contribute to productivity and can even slow decision-making.\n\nI have seen this occur over and over again in my career. The larger the team, the larger the budget, the longer the timeline, the less gets accomplished.\n\nI'm very curious to see how many more tech companies come to this realization. \n\nSo often, good times + revenue growth = Parkinson's Law.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":1786553277833,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,215],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1376985854229504007","view_count":0,"bookmark_count":8224,"created_at":1617133985000,"favorite_count":31893,"quote_count":2455,"reply_count":1030,"retweet_count":7468,"user_id_str":"3302","conversation_id_str":"1376985854229504007","full_text":"This is a story about how I lost $10,000,000 by doing something stupid.\n\nTen.

However, because you know you have a week to complete it, you might find yourself spending a lot more time on it than you need to. \n\nYou'll be more prone to distractions, take longer breaks, or perhaps decide to add more details, tables, graphs, and so forth. \n\nEssentially, the task becomes more complex and time-consuming purely because you have more time in which to do it.\n\nAnd here's how it manifests across organizations:\n\nImagine a big tech company. A social media company with various departments. Each department has tasks that it must complete to contribute to the overall productivity of the company.\n\nNow, suppose each department is given a budget and a set amount of time to complete its tasks for the year.\n\nAccording to Parkinson's Law, each department will use its entire budget and the entire allotted time, even if the tasks could have been completed more efficiently. \n\nThis is because as resources and time increase, departments tend to become more complex and less efficient.\n\nFor example, a department might add more steps to its procedures, requiring more approvals and creating more paperwork, which slows down the process. \n\nOr it might use the full budget on additional personnel or equipment that doesn't necessarily improve productivity.\n\nThe department might also use the full budget to justify the same or larger budget for the next year, since budgets in many organizations are often determined based on the previous year's spending. \n\nThis is a phenomenon known as \"budget padding\" or \"spend it or lose it\" mentality.\n\nInefficiencies can also develop in staff allocation. If a department expands, it might add managerial positions that aren't strictly necessary. \n\nMore employees are hired to manage, creating layers of bureaucracy that may not contribute to productivity and can even slow decision-making.\n\nI have seen this occur over and over again in my career. The larger the team, the larger the budget, the longer the timeline, the less gets accomplished.\n\nI'm very curious to see how many more tech companies come to this realization. \n\nSo often, good times + revenue growth = Parkinson's Law.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":1786553277833,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,278],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[{"id_str":"44196397","name":"Elon Musk","screen_name":"elonmusk","indices":[8,17]}]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1604860082986311681","view_count":3855301,"bookmark_count":949,"created_at":1671463435000,"favorite_count":13754,"quote_count":1230,"reply_count":2543,"retweet_count":1168,"user_id_str":"3302","conversation_id_str":"1604860082986311681","full_text":"Shit on @elonmusk all you want, but he has The Now Habit.\n\nAs soon as he has an idea, he takes action towards making it happen.\n\nThis is inherently chaotic, but for better or worse, it's likely a big part of why he's so successful.\n\nRapid action, iteration, and experimentation.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,278],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1857477769489428874","view_count":12260916,"bookmark_count":9903,"created_at":1731692185000,"favorite_count":50982,"quote_count":2722,"reply_count":2482,"retweet_count":3607,"user_id_str":"3302","conversation_id_str":"1857477769489428874","full_text":"Just watched my 5-year-old son chat with ChatGPT advanced voice mode for over 45 minutes.\n\nIt started with a question about how cars were made. \n\nIt explained it in a way that he could understand.\n\nHe started peppering it with questions. \n\nThen he told it about his teacher, and that he was learning to count.\n\nChatGPT started quizzing him on counting, and egging him on, making it into a game. \n\nHe was laughing and having a blast, and it (obviously) never lost patience with him.\n\nI think this is going to be revolutionary.

started my company 16 years, 3 months, and 5 days ago.\n\nToday, it went public.\n\nBut let's rewind for a second...\n\n5,939 days ago, I was a barista at a small cafe called @2percentJazz2, in Victoria, Canada.\n\nI made $6.50 an hour.\n\nTwo guys, Chris and Jeff, started coming into the cafe. \n\nThey'd sit there all day drinking espresso and typing away on their laptops, using the wifi. \n\nAfter weeks of this, I asked them what they did for a living.\n\nDidn't they have jobs?\n\nThey told me they were \"web designers\" and this — sitting on their laptops — was their job.\n\nAs I dug in, they told me how it worked: \n\nThey asked local businesses if they needed a website, then charged them a couple thousand bucks to make one.\n\nThey could whip a website together in a few days, and each make $1,000.\n\nSimple.\n\nThis blew my mind.\n\nAnd at that moment, I realized something: \n\nI wanted to be the guy drinking the espresso, not the one serving it.\n\nChris and Jeff were clearly smart, but I knew some basic HTML and figured I could do the same.\n\nI decided to try it out.\n\nWhen I got off my shift, I took the bus over to a book store downtown and bought a book called 'Bulletproof Web Design' by Dan Cederholm (@simplebits) to hone my skills.\n\nThen, I googled \"freelance web design jobs\" and found a tech job board called Authentic Jobs made by this guy in Utah, @cameronmoll.\n\nThere were hundreds of posts, mostly from startups in San Francisco, looking for freelance web designers.\n\nI decided to try to win one of these contracts, but I had a critical insight: \n\nNobody wants to hire an 18-year-old barista to build their website.\n\nSo, I decided I'd create a fake design agency.\n\nUsing tricks from Dan Cederholm's book, I whipped together a slick looking site and called my \"agency\" MetaLab (after the <meta> tag in HTML). \n\nThe website was very vague as to what exactly MetaLab did, who worked there, or where we were located.\n\nIt also featured a cringe-inducing tagline \"We Help People Make Cool Stuff.\"\n\nLike an email spammer, I started sending emails to every single web design job post I could find.\n\nI was met with crickets, until I got an email from a guy named Kavin Stewart (@kavinstewart).\n\nHe worked at a startup called Offermatica in San Francisco and told me he needed an interface designed for a web app.\n\nI barely understood what a web app was, but I assured him I could do it.\n\nHe proposed a $2,000 USD budget and my eyes went wide.\n\nThis was more than I earned in a month, and the project was just a few days of work.\n\nI walked into the cafe the next day and quit my job.\n\nI told myself that if I could just make enough money to wake up whenever I wanted and comfortably make rent, I'd be good.\n\nThe rest is history. \n\nBut I slightly overshot.\n\nI still own MetaLab, but along the way me and my business partner @_Sparling_ started dozens of companies, then began buying wonderful businesses, including one (Dribbble) — amazingly — from Dan Cederholm, the designer whose book I bought when I first started. \n\nToday, Tiny went public, and as of this moment has a market capitalization of just under $800 million.\n\nI can't even begin to explain how mind boggling this is to me.\n\nThis has not been a feat of entrepreneurial genius.\n\nMy key skill has been choosing incredible people to work with, both internally and externally, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has worked at Tiny and our various companies over the years. \n\nAnd a special thanks to @simplebits, @cameronmoll, and @kavinstewart for helping with my first step😉\n\nWatch for us on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker TINY (how cool is that
