Come along for the journey

Hi readers! I’m Melissa, a long-time startup community builder and marketer living in San Francisco. I’ve started 3 companies (most notably, Lean Startup Co.), invested in several dozen startups as an angel and investment partner (at ANGELS.vc and The Community Fund), and help founders accelerate their businesses (at Stripe).

Come along for the journey as I write about my personal observations from being an outsider living an “insider’s” life in tech.
