Nice short read:

99 mistakes I regret making:

After I built 30 startups in 20 years. VC-backed, Bootstrapped, Apps, SaaS, B2B, B2C

I'm curious, what's the incentive for having a newsletter like this?

It makes me wonder. If I had a similar public platform where I'd occasionally share useful insights and progress on interesting projects, would it not be a great way to make like-minded friends and reach potential founders for new projects?

I suppose it would have to be under one's real name and you'd have to share way more detail about your business for the sake of transparency/trust than most people do on this forum.
