About

Started in investment banking because, well, college debt. Found my way to an MBA and was super lucky to build Tiny Prints (acquired by Shutterfly) and Beau-coup (acquired by private equity), the latter with my wife. Just as important: the startups attempted before and after, which taught me the most expensive lessons in business and life. Now building Hark News (hark.news), a personal 5-minute morning audio newscast made from the newsletters you love most. I've been turning things I need into products since 1997. Hark exists because I read 3 of the 30 newsletters I subscribe to and was tired of the inbox guilt and fatigue. Now I walk my dog, listen to the news I actually care about saving me time and sound smarter for the rest of the day.

Hark.News - Newsletters piling up your inbox read to you every morning.

You subscribed to all those newsletters because you wanted to be informed. Then they piled up unread. Hark gives the ones you care about a new home: bring them over from your inbox or find them in our curated library, and they land in your own private Hark inbox, so we never access your personal email. Every morning a professional news anchor turns them into your 5-minute audio newscast, delivered by text. Weather first, big stories next, headlines to finish. Free for 7 days, then $8 a month.
