A newsletter for people running teams

Each week, I hand-pick the best reads for anyone managing sprints, driving roadmaps, leading departments, or just making sure the right work gets done.

Steady

Teams run on two loops: a big-picture loop connecting plans to progress, and a ground-level loop keeping teammates in sync. The status quo for running them — meetings, emails, dashboards, manual toil — doesn't cut it.

Steady is the AI-powered teamwork OS that runs both loops for you. Purpose-built agents distill updates into personalized intelligence that keeps everyone aligned automatically. The outcome: teams that deliver better work, 3X faster.

I founded Steady with distributed work veterans from Sapient, Basecamp, and GitLab.

Continuous Coordination

How do you give teams the right context at the right time without drowning in dashboards and meetings? I partnered with other tech leaders to answer that question with Continuous Coordination — an open-source set of principles for structured async communication and modern teamwork. Steady is built on these principles.
