(Gracie) Tin Van — Founder
I write What A Startup — a weekly newsletter for early-stage founders go from zero to one faster, cheaper, and smarter. Every week, I break down: – Case studies of real founder/startup journeys (how they actually grew from the ground up) – Proven scrappy strategies to go from "I launched something" to "I’m getting users and making money" – Reflection, deep thoughts, and unconventional wisdoms I gained along the way. Over the past 5 years, I’ve worked in VC, worked in startups, built my own startups, advised dozens of startups. Now I’m building another business and sharing everything I learn along the way — raw, practical, and no-BS.
