He can make a thread about controlled burns trend harder than most people make a vacation slideshow, congratulations, you’re the only guy who can turn forest management into a must-read product-market-fit case study.

Built a large, engaged audience (277k+) and routinely posts threads that reach millions, turning niche operational and policy topics into mainstream conversations.

To accelerate great companies and improve systems by connecting founders, surfacing practical solutions, and pushing policy and operational debates into the public square where they can be improved.

Pragmatism over ideology, data- and policy-driven problem solving, the outsized value of networks and bravery in entrepreneurship ("made more money being brave than being brilliant"). He believes operational choices and policy matter as much as technology.

Enormous reach and credibility within startup circles, an uncanny ability to distill actionable insights into short posts, excellent network connections for crowd-sourced information, and a knack for making policy + ops topics go viral.

Can be blunt and polarizing, sometimes leaning toward simplified takes that invite pushback; his focus on elite startup/policy circles can feel insular to broader audiences.

To grow on X: publish regular data-backed threads (with charts/screenshots) that solve founders' problems; pin a flagship thread (e.g., company-state moves or wildfire policy playbook); run periodic Twitter Spaces AMAs with founders/influencers; use polls and call-to-action tweets to crowdsource lists and keep engagement high; tag relevant operators and reporters to expand reach; and drive followers to a short newsletter or gated resource to convert attention into a community.

Fun fact: he has ~277,468 followers and ~2,044 tweets; one of his posts about companies moving states reached ~7.6 million views. He routinely crowdsources high-signal lists and sparks policy conversations (e.g., preventive strategies for wildfires).
