Project Graveyard
Startup experiments that earned their rest
A curated cemetery of side bets, hackathon prototypes, and ambitious
experiments. Each one sharpened my instincts and made the next build
smarter.
Pulseboard
Realtime ops pulse
2019
Why it began: founders needed a single heartbeat view across ops,
sales, and support. I tried to fuse Airtable + Slack bots into a
live command center.
Why it paused: adoption was great but data cleanup was brutal.
Without native integrations, upkeep killed momentum.
Lesson: shipping integrations needs to be day 0.
Scoutline
Pipeline intelligence
2020
Why it began: automate founder deal reviews with AI-generated
briefs. Parsed CRM data + call transcripts into a ranked queue.
Why it paused: API costs scaled before revenue. Needed deeper
productization that distracted from core role.
Lesson: validate pricing model before infra spend.
SprintKit
Internal product studio
2022
Why it began: template the 0→1 validation process for founders.
Built a Notion + Retool combo that automated research + signups.
Why it paused: tooling fatigue—teams already drowning in apps. The
win was the playbook, not the software.
Lesson: sometimes the deliverable should stay ops.
