Founder, engineer, dog dad 🐕

I'm Shane, an Australian entrepreneur and software engineer based in Lisbon, Portugal. Currently I'm working on Userstack, a different approach to SaaS analytics and understanding your users. A few years ago I co-founded a VC-backed B2B SaaS startup called Beyond, helping product managers navigate their roadmap using data. In the past I worked at Google for 5 years as a senior software engineer and engineering lead, helping to build innovative solutions in the marketing-tech space.

Startup First Principles

The best founders know when to use a framework and when to break the rules because they intuitively think using first principles.

Saying no is table stakes

In the startup world, opportunity cost is everything. For every single thing we decide to focus on, we are consciously (or unconsciously) saying no to 10,000 other things.
