the long version.

i started Savior in college as software to run one hospital's out-patient desk. it grew into a platform 85+ hospitals used to run daily operations and preventive care.

the real work was never the code. it was sitting inside hospitals long enough to see the gap between how care is supposed to run and how it actually does. that gap was the product. i did the early selling myself, onboarded the first 30 clients by hand, and built a team of 8 before Zocdoc acquired it in 2020.

Career Leap started as a whatsapp group for people switching careers. it hit 10,000 users in six months, almost entirely word of mouth.

we got course completion to 40% when the category sits at 5 to 10%, by designing for completion instead of conversion. by most dashboards it was working. but the unit economics never held at scale, and no amount of product was going to fix that. so i shut it down myself.

after building, i spent two years at Accel running Atoms, their pre-seed program for 0→1 founders. i ran it end to end: choosing the founders, shaping the program, and sitting with each team through the messiest part of going zero to one. four cohorts, two tracks, idea to first cheque.

backing founders taught me to read the early signal faster than i ever could as a founder myself. the teams that worked weren't the ones with the cleanest decks. they were the ones who got inside their problem the way i'd once tried to get inside hospitals.
