Crossposting CrazyStupidTech

Hello. Welcome to my Substack. This is the crossposting home of CrazyStupidTech, an innovation newsletter I started with my friend Om Malik in October 2024. We called it CrazyStupidTech because anyone starting something new has to endure years of their friends, colleagues and mentors calling their venture crazy and stupid.

We started it because there have never been more interesting, crazy, stupid new and interesting technology ideas out there to write about. Most publications are justifiably focused on what Big Tech is up to. Our goal is to tell you about the innovators that aren’t getting as much attention. Each of us has been writing about Silicon Valley for a generation.

I set up this crossposting site because Substack’s recommendation engine is so good that I’ve been picking up subscribers over the past few months without posting a thing. In a perfect world you’d click this link after your done reading this and subscribe on our main site.

But we also don’t want you to walk away empty handed. So after we post on our site, I’ll also post links to what we’re doing here. You can browse our archives here, including why we decided to start this in the first place here, and the kinds of stories you can expect from us in 2025 here. If you want to subscribe, it’s free.
