I turn frontier ideas into working products with AI agents.
I build them myself, every day, with Claude Code. I have built companies with founders, investors and creators since 1995, from one of the first interactive agencies to Majestic Research and Bright Moments.

During the call it listens, talks and draws on a shared whiteboard. It runs on your Mac with your own Claude Code subscription; nothing runs on our servers. Stan James, lead engineer, wrote most of the app and the engine. I shape the product and built the site and the bot characters.

Proof of Corn, 2026
Proof of Corn: an idea that reached #1 on Hacker News.
Fred Wilson set the challenge; I wrote it up and built it in public with Claude Code. The idea alone was the #1 story on Hacker News on January 23, 2026. The agent made the decisions, within spending limits; the farmer carried them out. The project is paused.

Bright Moments, 2021 to 2024
Bright Moments: live generative-art events in ten cities.
I founded Bright Moments in 2021 to make the release of a digital artwork something you went to. Collectors came at a set time, the artist was there, and each work was generated and revealed in front of them. We did it in ten cities over three years with about 150 artists, including Tyler Hobbs, Casey Reas, Emily Xie and Claire Silver, and ended in 2024 with a final work generated from the algorithms of sixty of them. Most of what I know about putting software in front of a live audience, I learned there.
