Lainey

Ex-Goldman Sachs. Helped startups raise $40M+. Built and exited my own product as a solo founder.
Now building Groundwork — a platform that lets solo founders raise from their first users, not investors. Because the people who use what you build are the best believers you'll ever find.
Building the whole thing in public.
