Serial entrepreneur. Always maximizing shareholder value.

I am a humble HINW sigma chad and a founder of a $10B SaaS company.

In a club I tried approaching this beautiful woman. She said no.

I approached her even closer. Explaining why she truly should take my offer.

She ran. I chased.

Until she locked herself away in a bathroom. I was this close to get in trouble with the law.

She was 1 in 10 who got away. But I will be back.

I approach my subscription business with the same philosophy.

Serial entrepreneur. Always maximizing shareholder value.

Im a humble owner of a money printer.

Your parents will tell you to build a business from the ground up. They are teaching you to be a peasant.

Every morning, I press a button. Trillion of dollars pump out of thin air.

This isn't a stimulus. It's a sedative.

Your "hard-earned" profits from your coffee shop are diluted into meaninglessness.

The price of the building your shop is in? Its going through the roof.

Serial entrepreneur. Always maximizing shareholder value.

I insist my rival portfolio companies embrace radical inclusivity.

I told them its important to be progressive at this modern age.

My one golden rule? Everyone must be encouraged to speak.

Engineers in the marketing sync. HR in the product roadmap review.

The junior intern's opinion on the Q4 budget must be heard and "validated."

I dont think they understand.

Im a humble shareholder of an airplane company worth $10B.

You think my business is flying people from NY to LA.

Every flight I operate loses money. Yet, I make millions of dollars in profit.

I dont think you understand.

Serial entrepreneur. Always maximizing shareholder value.

High-growth tech companies are very expensive.

They could easily go up to 20x revenue if their growth is high.

Its stock price is inflated by Wall Street and YC as a "growth premium."

Unlike Mark Zuckerberg with billions to spare, I cannot afford such a premium.

I need a new way to find undervalued deals, or make one myself.

First, I find a way to get my agents on the board. Then, I unleash the consultants.

The ones armed with holistic governance, psychometrics, sociometrics, Agile workshops with 6 Sigma Jujutsu Kaizen Kanban Framework.

I dont think they understand.
