Hello. I’m Nate.

I’m thrilled to join the blogging network Dustin Curtis put together that is
SVBTLE.

I was on a tear blogging in 2009 and 2010. Mostly over at Inkling’s blog, the company I started with Y Combinator in 2006.

However all sorts of stuff has been changing, including another stint with Y Combinator (a bunch more on that later).

With all these changes, my blogging frequency went down the drain. Recently, I’ve slowly started writing again. Now I get to up the commitment to my writing by joining SVBTLE.

I’m very honored to be included in an awesome group of writers. I hope I can share some stuff that inspires, motivates, educates, and delights you.
