Conversations that move ideas forward.
I take a small number of speaking and collaboration opportunities each year — focused on substance, not stage time.
On stage, on mics, in rooms with operators.
A small selection of stages, studios, and conversations from recent years.
Press, podcasts, awards and conferences across education, early years and recruitment.
Where I show up.
Keynotes
Original talks on systems thinking, founder-led ventures, education and durable growth.
Panels & fireside
Curated conversations with founders, operators and ecosystem leaders.
Podcasts & interviews
Long-form conversations exploring how systems shape ventures and outcomes.
Workshops & advisory
Closed sessions with founding teams on operating systems, scale and structure.
Themes I speak and write about.
- 01Systems
Systems thinking for founders
Why most founder problems are system problems in disguise.
- 02Ecosystems
Operating across multiple ventures
The Claudiverse model: shared distribution, separate identities.
- 03EdTech
Education as long-term infrastructure
Why EdTech is undervalued and what compounds over a decade.
- 04IaaS
Investment as a Service: operator capital, not advice
Replacing consulting with skin-in-the-game equity partnerships.
- 05SaaS
SaaS as infrastructure, not features
Building software with a 10-year half-life, not a 10-month one.
- 06Partnerships
Designing growth that compounds
Loops over launches. Why most "growth" isn't.
