"Indie hacker. Three failed startups, one mostly-okay one."

Andre quit a Big Tech job to launch a tiny CRM out of his kitchen. He believes in shipping ugly, the magic of the 11pm git commit, and that documentation is a love language.

"Editor-in-chief. Lives on cold brew and red pen."

Theo runs the cutting room — turns rambling 90-minute conversations into 40-minute episodes that feel like a tight short story. Former newsroom audio producer, occasional ghost-writer, full-time night owl.

a story.

We're not interested in the polished version. We want the part you usually leave out — the bug that took two months, the bet that didn't pay off, the late-night decision that turned into a company.

1.
Pitch
A paragraph or two. The arc, not the bullet points.
2.
Read
We reply within a week. Promise.
3.
Record
One hour over Zoom. Cocktails optional.
4.
Run
You see the edit. We publish. You brag.
