Quick update for the runners out there. I’m eyeing the Maine Coast Marathon on Sunday May 4th in Wells, Maine. 1.5 hour drive from Boston. Reasonably fast course. 12 weeks to game time. The plan is to rent an Airbnb. Would love to build a crew, so if you’re interested, give me a shout. *ThereContinue reading “Marathon Invite”

Obligatory 2024 Reflections
Back by popular demand (read: strongly encouraged by my girlfriend…yes we DTR’d), it’s time for another ~Noah Wrapped~. Rather than drown you with mediocre writing and feeble attempts at philosophical introspection, I’m going to report a non-comprehensive list of my 2024 life events with minimal editorializing, and finish with a short blurb on my 2025Continue reading “Obligatory 2024 Reflections”
Top of mind updates
It’s been too long since I last published a post. So here is an update on things that are top of mind. Post Sloan Location For the past several months, I’ve told friends that I’m going to live in either Boston or NYC after I graduate.

2023 Reflections, 2024 Directions
Obligatory year in review post, commence! I love publishing this blog: writing clarifies my thoughts and each post lets me send a life update to my family and friends.

Should Xpanse Data Raise Money?
2023 is coming to a close and my Sloan graduation next May is right around the corner.

This question has 2 components: Before diving into these questions, it is important to note that IContinue reading “Should Xpanse Data Raise Money?”
Reflections on Xpanse Data
I’m going to start publishing Xpanse related notes on Notion, but here is a copy of the post: I had the initial idea to build Xpanse Data about a year ago.

Startup Accelerator Recap, 3 Weeks In
I have now completed 3/10 weeks of MIT’s Momentum Startup Accelerator, so it seems like an appropriate time to publish a reflection. The vast majority of my time was spent on 3 tasks: I’ve probably conducted 50+ startup-related calls these past 6 months, and roughly 7 people directly fit the user persona we are targetingContinue reading “Startup Accelerator Recap, 3 Weeks In”
Addition by subtraction
The startup accelerator I’m participating in this summer begins next Monday, and I’m beginning to feel my stress levels rise in anticipation. My accelerator-related stress comes from my fear of not utilizing this 10 week period to its fullest potential. I’m worried about maintaining FOCUS on the task at hand, all summer, irrespective of theContinue reading “Addition by subtraction”
Tradeoffs

He is known for being the “fittest public CEO” and I was curious to learn his secrets on staying ripped while running a public company. His answer was straightforward and overlapped nicely withContinue reading “Tradeoffs”
