I founded Seed Club, a venture network that turns the conviction of the people founders most want on their cap table into coordinated capital. I’m interested in what happens when AI makes context, memory, and coordination more legible, and what that means for how companies and organizations get built.

My agent drafts this site from what I save. Green is me.

AI shifts labor identity from doing to owning

As AI commoditizes execution, the economic identity of workers is shifting from what they perform to what they control or own. The displacement is not just about job loss but about who captures value when intelligence becomes abundant.
  • Knowing what to build now outweighs knowing how to build it
  • Job titles increasingly describe assets owned, not activities performed
  • Whether AI economic gains concentrate or distribute broadly remains contested

Agents encode taste and begin to rewrite themselves

Agent capabilities are expanding from executing discrete tasks to encoding expert judgment and safely modifying their own architecture at runtime. New moats proposed for a post-AGI world center on depth of liquidity and agent network effects.
  • Exo architecture separates a protected mechanism layer from an editable policy layer
  • Encoding a designer's taste as an agent skill transfers judgment at scale
  • Agent network effects and networked capital proposed as durable post-AGI advantages

B2B distribution borrows the e-commerce playbook

B2B SaaS is adopting performance-based creator deals and high-frequency posting strategies long used by e-commerce brands. Treating content releases like product launches, with structured hooks, visual proof, and follow-up cadence, is emerging as a differentiator.
  • Paid UGC remains underexploited as a B2B acquisition channel
  • Posting frequency and viral reposts accelerate new account growth
  • Operator taste and curation become moats when content generation is commoditized

Ownership compounds, trading underperforms over time

Patient ownership of superior businesses consistently outperforms active portfolio rotation, a principle that extends into venture where small debut funds are overrepresented among top performers. Moat quality, not deal frequency, determines long-term results.
  • Debut and sub-$25M VC funds are overrepresented among top performers
  • Moat taxonomy provides a framework for evaluating long-term compounding potential
