engage and retain saas users, predict outcomes in app insights, build IP and your technical moat
Early stage founders often face common challenges. Does this look familiar?
Are you an first time / hopeful founder who wants to bring an app to the market? Do any of these frustrations sound familiar?
  • Difficulty growing and retaining your user base
  • Getting the best value from technical resources
  • Taking too long to launch or make changes a product
  • Collecting and using user feedback
  • Prioritizing the right features and keeping the scope from your MVP small

I'm a software engineer with 25 years of experience both in building early stage apps and running businesses. I care deeply about about building the right thing. My goal is to build a community of founders who are passionate about solving real problems by changing how people use technology.


I believe that as a group we can help solve the challenges entrepreneurs face by working alongside peers who are doing the same thing and drawing on the experience of people that have gone through it before.

Staff Software Engineer

HiddenLayer

I had the opportunity to work with Nick at 2 companies. Both times Nick demonstrated tremendous leadership traits and qualities that were exemplary. Nick's attention to detail and hyper focus on solving actual customer problems, while keeping the solution as simple as possible is his superpower. There were many times I had one on one meetings with Nick where he was able to effectively capture and distill the design / requirements in writing / architectural drawing in real time - very impressive. Nick's ability to understand and leverage data to make educated decisions is unrivaled.

Nick is a very personable character who truly believes in teamwork and helping to support those around him without being asked directly. Nick is someone that I look up to outside of work as a mentor and a great friend.

Whoever has the opportunity to work or hire Nick should absolutely do it!
