There are founders you d love to NOT work for. And then there are founders whose company you wouldn t want to leave, no matter what.

A big part of that comes down to people, their values, and their character.

And often, that starts with the founder.

I'll be honest I've never liked the feeling that someone "owns" me.

So being employed was very distant to me. [As if I had no power over my income.]

Hey everyone I'm Paul. I run a food business (ramen program for universities) and spend way too much of my day replying to emails. Not reading them that part's fast. It's the blank reply box that kills me.

Last year I started building Drafted, a Mac app that pre-drafts Gmail replies using AI. The twist: it runs 100% locally on your machine and never auto-sends anything. Every draft waits for you to review, edit, and hit send yourself.
