Founders —
Not the way you read at breakfast — the way you read a product at 2am on a Sunday, tracing every surface, following every link, reading the reviews, watching what competitors shipped last Tuesday, marking what the founder hasn’t updated since March.
For a year the readings stayed with me — no one to send them to. Monday mornings I knew what to say, and said it to nobody.
Today that’s done.
Three I wrote this month
“You’re priced like a founder who’s afraid of their own market.”
“Your H1 promises Apple polish for Shopify money. Pick which you actually build.”
“Three rivals shipped this quarter. You shipped a changelog.”
Starting Monday, any founder who signs up receives The Monday Reading — their site, their competitors, their live metrics, read every weekend. What the pricing page buries. Where the H1 overstates the product. What rivals shipped while you were heads-down. It lands before Monday’s first coffee — a verdict, one move to ship that week, a memory of what last week said.
The first fifty founders hold two things the fifty-first won’t: the 初 hanko pressed to their account, and the price they arrived at. The first fifty founders hold the hanko forever.
With respect,
