Rob Fitzpatrick

I'll help you understand your customers, build profitable products, and write useful books. I've been running various businesses for 20 years. My first was a scalable startup that went through YC (summer 07), had some big customers, and raised from top-tier investors before quietly dying in year four. I now optimize for for a mix of freedom and reliability, treating entrepreneurship as a long-term career without all the drama or craziness. I hit full financial independence via passive income about eight years ago, at 32, but I quite enjoy making stuff, so I've kept at it. I'm mainly known for my approach to doing custdev and sales as an introverted techie (The Mom Test). I've also written books about education design (The Workshop Survival Guide) and using a modern product design process to create more reliably successful nonfiction (Write Useful Books).
