Hello! I'm the author. I'd love to hear what you think about this post. My long-term goal is to come up with a generalized model and/or algorithm for startups. I didn't want to make this Substack post too technical, so a broader audience could also enjoy it.

I think there are many dimensions for startups (funding, team size, micro and macroeconomics, etc) and I want to see how these fit into a a high-dimensionality model. My background is mostly in computer science, so I will need to do a bit more research in a few other domains (economics, business management) to understand what makes startups work and fail and draw on existing research.

Eventually I am hoping this model can explain what makes some startups work, and others fail in a very broad sense.
