Added a new runway feature to signed.com to sort which of my portfolio companies are facing cash crunches.
(As a side note, always fascinated by startups who run out of cash and haven't talked to their investors about it. That's what they're there for, to help!)

VCs and investors keep saying they know technology so well and they're living in the future and yet... they use trash tools for themselves. Almost makes you think that tech investors who go on podcasts aren't as smart as they say they are. 🤔

When I started investing in startups 7 years ago, I asked other angels how they track their portfolio and I got a lot of "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". It's 2026 and everyone still says "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". So I started building Signed last year because wtf.

I think the funniest thing that best describes the iPhone 17 Pro is that Apple doesn't even let you compare it against the iPhone 16 Pro. It... would not look that impressive.

some day github will hire people who use github and maybe we won't have to worry about things like "is github showing me the whole line, or are they just deciding to hide important parts of it?"
