Who’s writing this?
I’m Alek Hagopian. I’ve founded two companies and worked in the technology and startup world for the last eight years. I taught myself how to code while building my first company. I was acquired three years later and never had to quit my full-time job.

My Takeaways
There are two main reasons I’ve decided to start collecting experience here:
#1 Learn from my experience
I find myself repeating the same mistakes. I hope this newsletter acts as a retrospective that forces me to learn from everything I do. Beyond the self-reflection, spending more time explaining the learnings will help them stick and increase the chances that I’ll apply the learning to similar situations.
I also hope that readers will learn from my experience. It’d make me happy to know that others can have more successful businesses, careers, or lives from reading this.
#2 Growing my network
My network is small. I’m limited to a small group of friends and colleagues when I seek feedback on an idea. I hope that, as time passes, I build enough of a relationship with you and other readers that you’ll be willing to support me in my endeavors, too.
Let’s see where this goes and what we can learn together!
