In building great companies…
⚡️ Government can be the gas pedal
🛑 Government can be the brake
It can: Accelerate growth, create new market segments, and expose new trends.
It can: Delay product launches, shrink the TAM, or kill the entire project.
If you’ve ever asked…
“How do changes in public policy impact the building of great companies?”
“How can I follow macro in a way that better separates signal from the noise?”
“What ways can government spark the next wave of progress and innovation?”
✅ You’re in the right place.
