Over the past few years, I’ve helped start-ups and scale-ups raise millions and turn brands into growth engines. What I’ve learned is simple: great products don’t sell themselves.

If you're a technical founder or operator, you already know how to build. But with the rise of AI and accessible tooling, building is no longer the hard part. The expectations have shifted. Now, the real challenge is how you think, frame, and distribute.

This is where systems thinking and marketing become your edge.

Horse to Unicorn is a growing collection of short, visual, and practical lessons:

  • An insight

  • A business case

  • A framework

  • An action plan

Each post is shaped by my own work and conversations with founders and investors. These ideas are designed to be applied immediately and, over time, they’ll connect into a system that can turn a workhorse offer into a unicorn-level business.

The first issue is on its way.
Subscribe now and start building with more clarity and momentum — one step at a time.

Wanderer, there is no road.
The road is made by walking.
