Why This Exists

I've spent a lot of time consuming content about VC, private markets, and startups — podcasts, interviews, articles.

The more I listened, the more I realized there was a gap: the language of this industry isn't easy to find explained simply and clearly in one place.

Burn rate. Cap table. Term sheet. Power law. Carry. Pre-money. SAFE.

So I built this — hoping it might help someone understand this world a little more easily.

No credentials. No VC background. Just someone who finds this industry fascinating and wanted to make it more accessible.
