First of all, yikes on that conversion, hah. But yes, absolutely- it's high on the list. (Yay, currency fun!)

Portfolio tracking for angel investors – Signed Automate your job before your portfolio company does. Performance tracking, AI diligence, investor updates, pitch triage, and tax reporting.

Anyway, I've been working on Signed for months now and it's been a joy to see my investments and employee stock in a new light. Give it a looksee: signed.com

Signed is live for everyone!

VCs and investors keep saying they know technology so well and they're living in the future and yet... they use trash tools for themselves. Almost makes you think that tech investors who go on podcasts aren't as smart as they say they are. 🤔

100%. early rails and llm-cocaine have a lot in common. (also why rails and llms work so well together, too)

all my friends are just building shit again, it’s an incredible time to want to do things

definitely an interesting take. so much has changed from those days.

hm. Bound to be somewhere, but I’m not sure! I should have stored all those separately haha

it's very fun to work on a financial product so I can add real quick wins like this; i wish more apps had flexible behavior like this

The IRS made a typo on my company name and incorporated it with the typo, lol. Off to a great start here.

I mean, what they mentioned seems quite plausible- toss 'em on a ship and launch them.

I mean... seems very doable? Not sure why you're so confused about this one.

Social investing – Signed Investing is inherently a social activity: founders meet investors, investors recruit other investors to put a check in, then everyone recruits employees to help work on the company. Strangely, ...

One of the annoying things about startup investing is how weirdly anti-social it is. There isn't really even some kind of "list" of "angels" out there (I have no idea what you'd call it, though).

Anyway, added some social aspects to Signed today:

i'm pretty sure Messages has been indexing since the first Obama administration and this message has never changed. apple still hasn't figured out how to use the `LIKE` keyword in sqlite, stg

The Tools of Angel Investing Written pieces, talks, and other bits by Zach Holman.

Did a post on the actual mechanics of angel investing: from banks to legalese to mostly complaining a lot more about banks: zachholman.com/posts/the-to...

sure

sure, if they recorded then yeah, it’s a problem, but just having glasses on is something everyone would have gotten similar treatment on

well, it’s not the UK, and it’s usually not allowed in the US either. but they’d have to record for it to be inappropriate.

I mean, legally it doesn’t, unless they were doing any of those things.

sent!

possibly- I think there's definitely something there but it's either skunkworks or a foreign adversary. seems like there's too much smoke under high-powered sensor systems for there not to be fire. but yeah trump talking about it now is lol

Signed – Portfolio tracking for angel investors Automate your job before your portfolio company does. Performance tracking, AI diligence, investor updates, pitch triage, and tax reporting.

I've invested in 233 companies and Signed tracks 'em, ingests investor updates, triages leads, diligences new startups, and all this other stuff I couldn't do before; makes me giddy to use it, lol. Dogfooding rules.

Beta's now; waitlist is now open: signed.com

When I started investing in startups 7 years ago, I asked other angels how they track their portfolio and I got a lot of "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". It's 2026 and everyone still says "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". So I started building Signed last year because wtf.

LLMs: Over the last three minutes I've written 67,283 lines of code to build a sophisticated system to manage failover infrastructure in high-throughput environments, with zero bugs.

Also LLMs: I've spent the last 13 minutes designing a bold new brand identity for your startup.

Prevailing sentiment is to treat agents like a "very smart intern", but I feel like that's exactly wrong. I treat it like "the dweeb who only has read a specific RFC for the last 30 years". I no longer get stuck for days on some dumb technicality that's blocking me.

we’ll see! not sure if i’ll publish this one or not

back doing my first talk in eight years 🤘

writing a new talk for the first time in nearly a decade and i'm really off to a great start imo

I think Republicans are overestimating liberals' emotional attachment to Bill Clinton.
