I’ve built HUNDREDS of products over the last 30 years.

Some were mine. Some were for clients.

Some were wins. Some were failures

Most of what I discuss in this newsletter is about overcoming product development problems.

So here’s a quick look into what I’m working on now.
Maybe you’ll see something we can help each other with.

Ventive is a full-service software development and go-to-market firm. I built this to help founders and growth-stage businesses build better, ship faster, and make more money with great products.

We’ve been in business for over 11 years and have built over 120 products with $1.8bn billion in combined acquisitions.

Here’s a quick video:

We help founders & startups take advantage of tax incentives, like R&D tax credit — with no out-of-pocket costs. We’ve been working with 800+ startups for over 5 years.

AI-driven interviews to help you hire smarter AND faster.

Built for founders who are scaling up and need great talent but don’t know how to interview.

This is a new project for me but we have been implementing this at ventive for about a year.

Beta coming soon!

A practice management solution for optometrists.

I have been working on practice management solutions for 20+ years(including my first acquisition) and this is one of my biggest.

They have been a client of mine for about a year.

They’re a super scrappy startup helping librarians and teachers make reading fun and engaging for students. They went from MVP to refined product and 7-figure business over the 7 years we’ve been working together.

So that’s some of what I’m woking on personally and at Ventive.

Can’t wait to hear about your project.
