I sold Duuce! The marketplace I started in 2020. This has been my most successful side project in terms of users and revenue but more important in terms of relationships I was able to build.

When it comes to side projects or startups the obvious thing is to measure its success against revenue or valuation. But building something valuable also attracts high energy and positive people. And if you’re not selling for a life changing amount the relationships and learnings matter more. The person that acquired Douce has been one of the first people supporting me with Duuce. I’ll write more on the process and the growth in a next newsletter.

Oh and next week I have another cool update to share.

Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Ideas Want to be Shared

I have contrarian ideas on intellectual property. I’ve come to think that the natural home of ideas is in the commons, that they should not be “owned” for very long.

The Focus to Say No

The difference between average results and exceptional ones is what you avoid. Saying no to mediocre opportunities is easy. Saying no to good opportunities is hard.
