For the past 5 years we’ve been working to preserve the legacy of small business in America. During this time we’ve built a dataset of millions of small businesses and now we’re giving that away for free.
The hardest part of selling small businesses is that most owners don’t know what their biggest asset is worth so they end up shutting down instead of selling.
That changes today. With @joglekar’s Zillow exec experience, we’ve been dreaming about the “Zestimate for SMBs” and I’m so stoked that it’s finally here.
We’ve taken a page from the Zillow playbook and excited to be launching Business Profiles: free valuations, competitive stack rank, and more for small businesses across America.
And we’re just getting started!
Grateful to @FortuneMagazine for covering the launch: fortune.com/2026/09/15/baton…

I’m hiring our first “Analyst” at @CapitalAlso
This isn’t your typical Analyst role.
You’ll serve as a natural extension of me, working across all firm and investing functions.
You’ll be a “mini Solo GP”, with increasing autonomy and responsibility earned over time.
We’re looking for an ambitious, hungry, “glue guy” (or girl…), with the potential for this person to grow alongside the firm.
We want the person who asks “how can I help?”…and actually follows through.
In short, we’re hiring for slope. No venture experience required.
We’ll be recruiting for this role over the next few weeks, with the goal of hiring for this position in August.
Warm referrals welcome, but not required.
Application linked below! 👇

A quote from @arthurbrooks that I can’t stop thinking about:
“How many of your great-grandparents’ names do you know?”
That’s within your *own family*. Powerful lesson about impermanence.
Very much enjoying his latest book From Strength to Strength.
Fantastic thread that recommends a number of other books and articles related to this topic
