Hello and welcome to my Substack:

I'm closing in on having lived a half a century in Silicon Valley. I've seen a lot and learned a bit. I've spent the last two decades of sharing a few thoughts ~700 posts about theory and practice of startups and innovation. I thought you might have missed a post or two.

Hence this email.

I’m going to be sharing my new posts as well as some of my favorite blogs and articles here. I thought you’d be interested in reading them.

These weekly posts will be a chance to revisit the history and evolution of innovation and entrepreneurship — from startups to companies to government agencies.

I'll kick things off with my 16-part Secret History of Silicon Valley series, which explains the origins of the Silicon Valley we know today.

Feel free to comment or respond if something resonates.

Hope you'll enjoy reading and spread the word,

Steve
