Welcome to Groundwork
Laying the foundation for new roadmaps—and outlier outcomes.
The world around me is changing—my industry is changing, my country is changing, and technology is rewriting the rules every day. So why settle for the old paradigms to achieve outlier outcomes?
Groundwork is where I explore what’s next. It’s my public portfolio—a space to share insights from over a decade in venture capital, connect the dots between industries, and think out loud about building companies that matter.
Who is Groundwork for?
LPs – Family offices, institutional investors, and fund of funds exploring venture capital or optimizing their portfolios.
Founders – Early-stage founders and operators navigating growth, go-to-market, or scaling.
Investors and Operators – Anyone curious about the intersection of venture, industry, and culture.

I won’t always be right, but I promise to always be Earnest. This is my way of laying the groundwork—not just for what I’m building with Stresswood, but for a lifetime of learning, connecting, and growing.
