I'm currently working on a tool for lead discovery and understanding. If you are trying to launch your product, I'd love to have you try it out and see what you think. DM me for access! It takes just minutes to set up, and it will automatically start scraping for valuable leads and pain points.

I've been building a product that automatically drafts replies to emails directly in your inbox, in your voice. I'm looking for early testers—DM me if you'd like to try it out! Currently, it only supports Gmail.

I officially launched newsletter.surf a few weeks ago, and seeing people share their newsletters has been incredible. As more newsletters are added, I'm looking to add more features around discovery and filtering based on newsletter content. #buildinpublic
