Trevor here. I’m tinkering and experimenting with a shorter format. I was going through a list earlier and noticed I could go through 5 startups before I lost my attention span and started to fade away.

I always try to put myself into my readers’ shoes and improve the overall reading experience. If you prefer the longer, once-per-week format, let me know.

I’m always open to working with all types of founders, no matter their ethnicity, gender, origin, or socio-economic background.

Please fill in this form if you want me to review your startup and product. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn as well.

As a rule of thumb, I look at startups who have at least built a minimal viable product.

I look for strong positive signals using the FPTM model: Founders — Product — Traction — Mission.
