[Jan 30, 2026] This tweet about indecisiveness got me thinking. The commonly-used phrase "I'll sleep on it" is mostly an excuse
for indecisiveness. Most people are constantly indecisive--which restaurant
to go to, whether to go out tonight, and so on. Indecisiveness is not a productive
trait. During the past three weeks, I've talked to a lot of investors and had
to make tough decisions about who to work with for the next five years. A completely
rational, decisive being would have decided two weeks ago. In hindsight, I've
been indecisive in this process--but really, for most of my life. It's not
that I don't make the tough decisions--I've always done that (e.g., moving
to SF by myself)--but I've internally excused the delay by sleeping on it. I think the most successful people share one trait
in particular: quick and efficient decision-making. Looking back, I
certainly haven't possessed that. Now, having brought this trait into
conscious awareness, I have the opportunity to change. I'm not sure
exactly how, but I'm starting by trusting my intuition more. (When looking
back, I can see a clear pattern of my intuition usually ending up being
correct.)
[Jan 19, 2026] "Only 18% of Teams users are below age 35. These are the enterprise
customers of the future." When I read this, I
immediately thought: pay-as-you-go, self-serve customers today are the
enterprise customers of tomorrow. I love PAYG and self-serve. I created my
first company when I was 14 years old--a P2P marketplace for
Counter-Strike skins--and it would never have been possible without
companies like AWS and Stripe offering PAYG and self-serve.
[Jan 1, 2026] 2025 thoughts
Participated in Velocity Fellows (late 2024) and went to San Francisco for the first time in my life.
Fell in love with San Francisco and went back five times in spring
2025, one week per trip. Most importantly, with ZFellows.
Mid-spring, I raised some money for my startup, TeleID.
During summer, I realized the most logical thing to do was to drop out
of high school and move to San Francisco, which I did in August.
Officially moved in October, after getting my O-1 visa.
I stopped drinking alcohol. I started spending more time alone and
working out, reading, meditating. I lost 10 kg.
I realized the market for my startup idea was not as big as I thought,
and how difficult it is to sell a technical product to non-technical
elderly people. So..., I spent 4 months researching telecom.
Started studying French and psychology in my free time.
Traveled to 6 countries (for work).
Now going into 2026 with:
A great startup idea and plan on how to execute it.
No distractions: no alcohol, no social media, no fake friends.
A couple of new close friends.
Meaning. I think I've finally figured out what it means to be
human.
A strong interest in psychology and languages.
Goals for 2026:
Disrupt telecom
Learn French at B1 level.
Learn more psychological theories.
Meet interesting people.
Keep my routine of working out, meditating, reading, writing.
[Dec 5, 2025] I've lived in San Francisco for a few months now. First as
an experiment, then for real. I thought I cared about some of the things I
left behind in Sweden, but, turns out I don't. I've realized I
fundamentally only care about 7 things: my startup, working out,
meditating, reading, learning French, writing, and like-minded
family/friends.
[Nov 21, 2025] I'm going to learn French. Currently at level A0. Let's
talk in 6 months.
[Nov 13, 2025] I'm convinced I've finally realized what it means to be
human: love, humor, well-being, spontaneity, freedom.
[Nov 9, 2025] I just got back from a telecom conference in Alicante. After
four months of research and talking to 150+ people, I'm certain I'm ready
to disrupt the telecom industry.
[Oct 4, 2025] Life update: I've moved to San Francisco, CA. I'm alive
again.
[Oct 1, 2025] When your family and old friends start telling you you've
become too intense, objective, or humorless, you might want to listen to this--one of many great speeches by Alan Watts.
[Sept, 2025] I've recently started writing a lot. It's a habit I'm
starting to enjoy. Not long-form or novels, but short daily reflections on
life and my thoughts. Sometimes I feel the urge to share my thoughts with
others--that's why I created this website. It's non-indexed and
non-crawled by design, which means you'd have to find the website
manually. Welcome.
