I'm a writer. I love journalism and the journalistic instinct. But it's broken.
Right now journalism is 80% aggregation and 20% newsgathering. It's a broken model. When 80% of your job is essentially rewriting press releases and 20% of your job is talking to hostile interview subjects, which are you going to focus on?

I hate NFTs but I know they're valuable. So instead of building another NFT dump, we built a place where artists can actually sell physical art. Would love to hear your thoughts.

We created our pre-seed fund because when we were trying to build we discovered how hard it was for global startups to get noticed. Bonus points for figuring out which Baker Hall we named the fund after.

Jon is an old friend and he made a really cool little device. I had an early version of this and this is a cool update.
Minder
A simple tool to maintain social distancing.
The Minder is the world’s first social distancing minder. It uses patent-pending technology to alert you and others if you are standing too close. It senses when you are closer than to someone and gives a gentle reminder to keep a safe distance.

Ahoy,
This is version two of my T4R product that I rewrote from scratch. The goal is to allow journalists to ask hard questions of technologists and so far it's worked pretty well. Would love UI/UX feedback as that's not my strong suit.

A place for reporters to ask hard tech questions.
Journalists: Need to ask a hard question about tech? Do it here, completely anonymously.
Technologists: Want to get in front of journalists and explain your expertise? Join T4R to help set the record straight.
