250-Word Summary:

(Text me at 512-653-9872.)

I solo-founded stationmountain.com (currently exiting for $3.75m – $0 for me lol) and co-founded cased.us (still fully operating it).

After Cased, I’m building Instadevelopment: 

Long-term vision: Permanently eliminate all inescapable extreme poverty across an entire smaller developing nation through an investment around the size of its GDP by driving a tenfold increase in export earnings – alongside vitalizing associated infrastructure, education, governance, and agricultural reform.

Why:

My life goal: Maximally add good to the world.

Of all methods of maximally adding good, I firmly believe Instadevelopment is superiorly:

1) Cost-to-impact-effective
2) Counterfactual (otherwise wouldn't be done)
3) Actually root problem solving
4) Direct (not vaguely long-term)

Vision:

A developing nation of millions with the correct prerequisites can permanently be uplifted above the poverty line with a correctly executed $1b+ investment. This end goal is extremely ambitious yet just doable enough.

Phase 0:

Fully develop the specific thesis of the pilot project through R&D trips in Africa, connections, and perpetual research (pilot example below).

Phase 1:

Build a website – mainly a core full-length book.

Gather ~$500k and a small full-time team.

Launch it. Make it genuinely viral and tenable through ultra-credible reposts and contributing authors.

Phase 2:

With virality, raise 8 figures for the pilot project.

(Example: Raise $20m to 5x the efficiency of 10,000 Ugandan coffee farmers and connect them with high-end Western buyers.)

Build a larger world-class team. Build a think tank. Get MOUs. Break ground within 8 months.

Post-pilot:

Continually scale (e.g. $200m projects, political networking) into the end goal.

Overall:

I shall leverage every lucky instance I get and forever live significantly frugally.

High ambition lacks legitimacy without nitty-gritty details; I only expect credibility post-launch.
