I didn’t get into the tech scene to help guys build another b2b saas startup. Let’s be real. When someone says tech, what do you think of? The invention of the wheel? The steam engine? Flight? Or do you think of soft blue gradients, sans-serif fonts promising incremental rev impact if yuo sign up for the latest b2b saas solution? Tech has gotten so synonymous with digital that we forget that the greatest, most impactful civilizational leaps have all happened in the real world. But now the pendulum is swinging back toward reality. And I, for one, am excited to be a part of it. The Truth About the Frontier I grew up in rural Wisconsin. Without the internet (despite being GenZ), my world was power tools, firewood, and campfires. When I started recruiting in 2020, I was fascinated by CleanTech. I thought we were reinventing the world. But "CleanTech" lost its way. It traded optimism for fear-mongering and word-police politics. It stopped being about the future and started being about how much you aren't allowed to do. That’s not the future I want to build. I'm rebranding because I’m looking for a different kind of builder. I’m looking for the frontiersmen. The kind of people who understand that technology should be a tool for stewardship. Not a source of shame. The frontier isn't another b2b saas calendar app. It’s the physical world. It’s that horse-riding, gun-slinging cowboy who respects the land that sustains him. He knows nature can be harsh, but he understands that if we use technology correctly, we can make this dusty rock better for the next generation. The Mission I may not be the scientist uncovering nature’s secrets, but I get to be the one who finds the crew that does. I’m using my firm to rally the wild adventurers. The builders who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the real world. If you’re a frontiersman in pursuit of technologies that actually matter, you and I are cut from the same cloth.
