About GrowthDiary

A global perspective at the intersection of policy, economics, and entrepreneurship.

GrowthDiary.co is a place to think clearly about how businesses are built and how the systems around them shape outcomes.

I write from direct experience building and operating SaaS companies, combined with observation of markets, cities, capital flows, and public policy. Some ideas come from success. Others come from mistakes, shutdowns, and hard tradeoffs. All of them are grounded in reality rather than hype.

This is not a highlight reel. It is an attempt to document what actually happens when products, people, incentives, and institutions collide.

What You Will Find Here

State and Policy

How government decisions, regulation, taxation, and city governance affect builders, workers, and capital.

Markets and Economics

Analysis of incentives, risk, growth, and why certain business models and regions thrive while others stagnate.

Entrepreneurship and Building

Practical lessons from running SaaS companies, including product decisions, hiring, growth strategy, and survival.

Founders and Reality

Clear-eyed reflections on pressure, burnout, resilience, and the human cost of building companies.

Why GrowthDiary

Growth is not only measured in revenue or users.

It is also about judgment, timing, and the ability to adapt within changing economic and political environments. GrowthDiary exists to explore that broader definition of progress, both at the level of companies and the systems they operate in.

This site is both a record and a resource. A place to analyze, question, and learn in public.

Closing Thought

Every business is shaped by more than ambition. It is shaped by rules, incentives, timing, and human limits.

GrowthDiary exists to make those forces more visible, so better decisions can be made by those building within them.
