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.

Goal: To identify massive opportunities for building the companies of tomorrow, based on the less than obvious, but really important, macro trends happening today.

About me: I’ve worked in DC for 15 years in law and politics as Deputy Staff Director for a major House committee and lead policy counsel while my boss was in House Leadership. As for the term “Muldering,” well, here’s the clip from my final hearing as a staffer to help explain it:

I provide a song for each post. It’s a small place to pay homage to the music that I’m listening to while I write. Feel free to ignore or listen along to my elder millennial music sensibilities.
