About Creating Value from Nothing

We share the primary materials (actual emails, internal blog posts, etc) of a fast growing marketplace startup with commentary from experienced leaders, as we build and scale a fast-growing (200+ person) startup… for the second time.

What’s in it for you? We hope this newsletter adds to your mental models of:

  1. “What is it like day-to-day inside a fast-growing startup?

  2. “How does my specific experience compare to other startups?”

  3. “What challenges are other startup leaders facing in their own companies, and how are they actually tackling them”?

Why do we write this? We build startups for impact, but the company itself isn’t the only vehicle for impact. We hope that by sharing our story and actual internal materials while we’re building the company we help you execute just a little better wherever you work… and that you’ll let us know if we should be doing something differently too.
