The Newsletter

Building big businesses, in your inbox.

I build companies that scale into the millions — some sold, some now clearing high-seven-figure months in revenue. This is where I write down what actually works while it's working: the playbooks, the numbers, the AI systems, the deals.

Most newsletters are written by people who write. This one is written by someone who builds.

Companies that scale. Companies that make millions. Companies that sold for millions. Deus X Pay, TradeLocker and FunderPro aren't case studies I researched — they're businesses I operate, with my own money on the line.

What lands in your inbox.

01

Every new partnership, first

8 new partnerships signed in 2025–26 and more coming. Readers hear each announcement — and the thinking behind the deal — before anyone else.

02

The playbooks

The growth, monetisation and retention systems running across the portfolio right now — written down as they're used, not theorised after.

03

AI on the P&L

What AI actually did to my businesses: margins up 15% on average, six figures out of hosting costs, thousands of hours off the task load.

04

The real numbers

Wins and scars, with figures attached. Building in public means the losses get written up too — that's what makes the wins worth reading.

Figures and milestones relate to independent portfolio and partner companies and were accurate when published; they can change over time. Each company's own site carries its current numbers.

Read what I'd tell a partner.

One letter, when there's something worth saying. The next partnership announcement goes to this list first.
