Welcome to my blog
One person's opinion on building and growing early stage companies
Thanks for visiting.
Over the last 6 years, Chorus.ai transformed from a crazy idea I dreamt up in an 11,000 person Swiss village into a product and business I count as my proudest professional achievement. Chorus has close to 150 incredible employees, millions of ARR and counts some of the world’s most iconic companies as customers - including Zoom, MongoDB, DocuSign, Uber, Qualtrics and more. We raised millions of dollars from 3 of the top venture funds in the world - Emergence Capital, Redpoint Ventures and Georgian Partners. I came out the other side of that journey a profoundly different person.
Building Chorus was intense and I rarely had (made?) the time to process my feelings and learning. My goal for this blog is to synthesize the things I learned building Chorus and the most common issues I come across advising early stage founders. I’d also love to learn from your perspective.
Thoughts on what I should cover?

Startup Office Hours
I’ve also started 2 hours a week of Office Hours for early stage entrepreneurs that I think I can help in areas of navigating early stage Product-Market Fit, fundraising, Go-To-Market, Category Creation and People and Culture.
Apply here and share some background information and and I’ll do my best to make the time.
I hope this helps you navigate your journey building your startup.
