We have a cracked marketing team.
I’m not trying to replace them. They’re just that good.
But when an idea hits, I have to build it.
So I made my own sizzle reel....

My team at Impressive.dev built an agent that reads your deck like an investor — and tells you the truth.
Drop your pitch deck → get investor-style notes in seconds.
What works. What wobbles. What wins.
At #SFTechWeek? Look for me.
I’ll show you what impressive really means.

Hot take: most pre-seed dollars subsidize learning founders should do before taking a dime.
The loop I see over and over:
Ship a shiny POC/clickable demo
Raise
Spend to “build the real thing”
Burn months (and cap table) chasing PMF
Realize at month 6–12 the bet was wrong → pivot, re-raise, repeat

We didn’t build R2-D2 or BB-8—but we did build Notora AI to help you fight the real Empire: endless to-dos + meetings that go nowhere.

This started as a wild little POC I built for myself.
It worked so well, I couldn’t not keep going.
Notora AI gives you a new kind of edge—
It’s not a “productivity tool.” It’s cognitive leverage.
Thinklets. Looplets. Real AI help, when and how you need it.

I feel excited about tonight’s StartUp event in my neck of the woods with close to 200 attendees. It feels like I need to reintroduce myself. Have not been very active since I became a dad, but now with us launching soon with our #stealth #startup, I feel the need to go out and mingle.

A well-run dojo isn’t just a place to learn self-defense — it’s a community hub that instills values of humility, discipline, and perseverance. And I believe we desperately need that now more than ever.

I’m sure you saw the “salute” yesterday. Some people are saying “he’s just awkward” others say he’s got “Asperger’s”, while others say it did not mean what it meant.
