career and life update:

for the last 5 years, I ran @spacekayak as one of the great creative experiments of my life. I could be nothing but proud of what we built as a team, a studio, and a partner to 200+ founders. we lived the whole arc with them, through raise, exit, and everything in between. we touched practically every major industry, building new creative expertise, experiences or learning a thing or two along the way.

spacekayak was always a vehicle for young creatives to experiment and kickstart their careers. I got to work with nearly 80 of them and build transformational stories together. This is the part I am most grateful for.

3 years ago we pushed our new branding with the tagline "imagining new frontiers." the experiment has reached its fruition. the frontier has arrived. the world I see today looks different from the one I imagined 5 years ago: new world, new practices, new tools, new ways for humans to coordinate, and above all a clearer idea of what cult leadership/ company looks like in 2026.

we are sunsetting the practice on dec 31st.

we are a small team signing the last accord of projects and collabs. In october alone we worked with 3 YC companies. If you want to work with the creatives on our team as we transition out, reach out.

thank you to every founder who trusted us with their story before anyone else believed it. thank you to every creative who walked through our doors and made the studio what it was. thank you to our partners and mentors who showed up for us again and again.

and @0xsb_ you were the first to say yes when spacekayak was just an idea and without a name. you built this with me, every brief, every late night, every founder we fought for. there is no spacekayak without you. thank you, brother.

for now, a beautiful chapter of my life comes to an end.

@sanctuaryparc stays open. for the next decade, it will be infrastructure for society, a pod in koramangala for anyone daring enough to start, create, or think, and imagine better futures. i have put my life鈥檚 savings into it and i will keep funding it. If you are interested in partnership here, DM me.

Sometimes I forget to eat because of my ADHD and obsessive creative flow. My wife set up a low-friction protocol. An agent pings, and I open the fridge to this. 馃ス

Last night I wished and prayed, soaking in the lit up homes and the koramangala sky, for a fresh vijay over every sub plot of life. An energy, a fire that fans into a flame. A true quest for the sacred ember.

This morning new humans moved into @sanctuaryparc with no prior. LEGO sets, spools of filament, hardware and their startup in boxes.

I laughed at the wheel of life and welcomed these techno romantics in like a warm hug, letting their fire catch on to me.

And this, is a lit diwali.
