    Strategy Consultant 2021 - Present (over 5 years)
    I'm currently consulting for HIVE, a Bitcoin miner with approximately 1.5% of global hashrate.

    I write the company newsletter, which is an excellent way to communicate... more with our investors.

    I also work on various initiatives including our transition from mining ETH to providing AI/HPC cloud services.

    Early Investing
    Co-founder 2013 - Present (over 13 years)
    Early Investing is a financial newsletter that offers research on equity crowdfunding deals and cryptocurrencies. We've introduced tens of thousands of investors to startup... more investing, and written research on dozens of deals for our members. We recommended our members invest in crypto (70% BTC) in 2017 when Bitcoin was at $2,700.

    At our peak we had more than 50,000 paying subscribers (most at $49/year). We built our list of over 300,000 free subscribers through a combination of organic referrals and paid marketing.

    I started Early Investing as a new division at the Oxford Club, one of the oldest financial newsletter companies in the US. EI was a part-time project from 2013-2016 while I was employed as ecommerce director of the Oxford Club, managing our web team and pay-per-click marketing (primarily Google). I transitioned to full-time on Early Investing in 2016.

    I was very passionate about EI, but ultimately I had disagreements over the marketing with the owners. I grew very tired of hyperbolic extreme sales copy. We sold EI to Kingscrowd in April of 2020. I write part-time for the business today.
