IRL growth hacks ALWAYS have the highest ROI But finding a company's address is always a pain So I built an app to take care of it. Try it out below!
Only in SF would Legos generate 250k in pipeline. Last week @brickywhat and I hand-delivered custom legos and demos to startups that recently raised. If you want a custom minifigure (and to learn how Browserbase can supercharge your agents and automations), my dms are open!

What to focus on to become a GTM / Growth Engineer (even if you’re not technical): My path: Aerospace grad → Founder → Founding Engineer → GTM/Growth Engineer Focus on: 1. Build 0→1, learn to ship fast 2. Figure things out, don’t wait, have high agency 3. Finish what you
If you’ve never heard of a GTM Engineer, here’s what I actually do day to day: - Build demos with @browserbase - Ship growth hacks (like the YC Unicorn Predictor 🦄) - Automate workflows & build our AI SDR - Take early demo calls - Run SEO/AEO experiments - Film DevRel & launch
