Starting things since 1994

I take ideas from nothing to something.

Entrepreneur's Emporium is where I start things. I nuture ideas and passions into fantastic customer-centric products and services.

A warm old shopfront with the door open and shelves of books, maps, and handmade objects inside.
How I work

Zero to one, then all the way through

I cultivate ideas into products - usually because I wanted the thing to exist and nobody had built it yet.

01

Follow the passion

Every one of these started as something I actually wanted to use, not a gap on a market map.

02

Build the small real version

One customer, one working thing, money changing hands. Nothing is announced before it works.

03

Stay for the long middle

The interesting part is year three, not launch week. I am still here for all of them.

I have never been able to leave a good idea alone. Starting the thing is the easy part - growing it is my whole craft.
