Founders write to me every day with some version of the same thing. My co-founder and I can’t agree on anything anymore. Should I raise now or wait six months? My board wants one thing and my gut says another. I’m exhausted and we haven’t even launched.
I love these questions. They’re the ones I wrestled with at Netflix, at Looker, and at every startup before and since… and the ones I’ve spent years helping other founders work through.
The problem is there’s only one of me, and I can’t get on the phone with everyone who asks. So we built Wisen
Confession: when we started building Wisen, MarcGPT is exactly what I wanted. It would be an AI version of me that could answer questions while I slept. Then two VCs I respect asked a simple question: what’s an answer from Marc worth if it doesn’t come from Marc?
They were right. So we scrapped MarcGPT. Every answer you get from me on Wisen will be one I wrote myself.
Send me a private message, or ask in the open, where other founders can weigh in and we can learn together. I read and respond daily. Don’t expect text-message speed. Expect a real answer from someone who’s actually thought about it.
The first two weeks are free. After that it’s $100/month. That keeps the questions serious, and it keeps me able to answer every one of them.

Thanks for thinking of me, and I would be delighted to be considered to speak at your event.
