Wealth, mind, energy. For those building a life that lasts.

Welcome to Venture Wisely

Hello — I’m Alex.

I sold my first company, ContentCal, to Adobe by the time I was 31.

I spent three years between London and Silicon Valley during my Adobe earn-out, working on multi-billion-dollar product strategy and seeing what real scale looks like.

Along the way, I also co-founded Kindred, a company with over 200m monthly active users and growing, down to an amazing team.

Now I lead JAAQ — an AI mental health platform built to impact a billion lives.

On paper, that journey ticks a lot of boxes.

But here’s what I’ve learned the hard way:

Success doesn’t guarantee peace.

Wealth isn’t money — it’s control over your time, your mind, your energy.

Venture Wisely is where I explore how to build meaningful companies — and a meaningful life.

It’s where I write the kind of reflections I wish I’d had during the 5 a.m. pitch builds, the lonely fundraising cycles, the management resets, and the moments of stillness in between.

This is for founders, operators, investors, and thinkers who want to go the distance — without burning out, selling out, or losing themselves along the way.

I write about:

• Building companies and systems that scale without swallowing you

• Navigating ambition while keeping your nervous system intact

• Creating space for real thinking and aligned action

• Redefining what success means once you’ve “made it” — or want to
