Pitch the conversation
Be a Venture Grade guest
Founders, operators, investors with a take you'd defend on the record. If the conversation you want to have is the one I'd want to host, the form below is the shortest path to a yes.
What I'm looking for
Building or advising something technical at venture scale.
Founders shipping, operators inside the engine, investors on a thesis. Not generic 'thought leadership'.
Has a thesis you'd argue — not a deck you'd present.
We go deep on how, not what. If your take is identical to your homepage, this isn't the show.
Can hold a 45-minute conversation, not deliver 45 minutes of bullets.
Episodes run long because the guest can. We edit lightly. Quality of mind matters more than reps.

The pitch
I respond to fits, not pitches. If we're not a match, I'll send a short reason and a referral if I can — but I won't waste your time with a polite no. Either way, every submission gets read by me.
FAQ
- I'm a PR rep. Can I pitch on behalf of a client?
- Yes, but the pitch needs to be specific. Generic decks don't clear the bar. The two long-form fields are where I look first — fill them as if the client wrote them.
- Do you pay guests or accept sponsored episodes?
- No. Editorial only. If the conversation is right, you're on.
- How long until I hear back?
- Within a week — yes or no. If it's a yes, we book the pre-call right away.
- Can I bring a topic list or do you write the questions?
- I write the arc, but the best episodes start with what you most want to argue. We align on the pre-call.
