I’m a founder and operator who, over the past 15 years, has built companies, products and teams by bringing interesting people together around shared goals. I’ve started thinking of this approach as Collaborative Communities: the right people, brought together around something they care about, with the opportunity to create more together than they could alone.
Today, I’m building Zozy, the first shopping assistant for IRL, and exploring ways to co-create Collaborative Communities with founders, brands and investors shaping the future of commerce.
What I’m curious about
🤓 Collaborative Communities
How you bring the right people together around a shared goal, and create the conditions for them to build something greater together than they could alone.
🧠 What stays uniquely human
As technology becomes capable of doing more for us, what should humans do more of, what should we do less of, and how do we keep connection, creativity and collaboration at the heart of it?
🛍️ A more buyer-aligned version of commerce
How we shift power away from whoever spends the most to influence us, and toward the person actually spending the money, giving people better information, better tools and more control over what they buy.
