👋 Howdy, Doc here. Welcome to Open Source CEO—a global tribe outperforming the competition together.

WELCOME 🙋🏻‍♂️

I wanted to take this time to quickly say hello and give you a high level of what to expect. Before I do, let me give you the quick intro to who I am.

• Founder and CEO at Athyna. A global talent platform. 🌏

• Top ranked Mentor & Investor at Startmate + LP at Blackbird. 🐦

• Investor in Humane, Future Super, Atomic8 and more. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾

• More interestingly - I have travelled 60+ countries in the past. 🛩

• And I have a cool little sausage dog named Ziggy. 🐶 

• Oh & the name is Bill but people call me Doc. 🔮

Now that you know a little bit about me, I’d love to connect personally on LinkedIn, Instagram & Twitter. Anywho, let's jump into what Open Source CEO is all about.

I built this community to help myself and people like me—founders, investors and leaders in tech. As you well know, business is hard. And sometimes you don’t really have the tools necessary to be great in your job. I aim to change that through a combination of goodies delivered straight into your inbox.

Interviews with entrepreneurs, and finally playbook breakdowns—taking something great and giving you a step by step guide to replicate in your business. Take a look below at some examples of what you can expect from us!

CONTENT 📕 

Original pieces

We love taking a business, idea, industry or other—see our Game of Thrones Torrhen Stark piece—and breaking it down in relatable terms. One of our favourites is our deep dive on Deel, EOR & The Future Of Global Teams.

Tools & resources

One of our most popular resources to help you outperform the competition is our Ultimate Investor Letter Database. Every letter from Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, JP Morgan and more. We even hunted down the Buffet Partnership letters from Warren’s youth.

We also have our Awesome OKR Template, Ninja Swipe File and Epic Data Room you can go ahead and download. Check all those tools and more here.

Entrepreneurial deep dives

Next up we have our deep dives on the great entrepreneurs through history until today. What makes them tick, their trials and tribulations and how you can steal their playbook for yourself.

First one you should check out is 5000 word piece on Sam Altman of OpenAI.

Interviews with leaders

We also have interviews from the best leaders in startups, technology and venture capital. We’ve sat down startups from Seed to Series E. You get the chance to peek inside their brain and see how they thing about going from zero to 1 and beyond.

Check out our recent interview with Mercury founder Immad Akhund below.

Build in public posts

And finally, we love to build in public here. This goes for this newsletter and my startup Athyna. If you enjoy taking a look behind the curtain on how others run and manage their business—these editions are for you!

HOUSEKEEPING 📨

When you will hear from us

If you are a subscriber you'll hear from us every Saturday or Sunday depending on which end of the world you live. You can guarantee that, and you can also expect every so often to receive an email on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in the week.

Saturday is a lock, but I will often have more to say in the week and in those weeks you will get a bonus edition.

The call-to-action

If you have made it this far you are likely interested and probably a great fit for our community, so I will leave this nifty little subscribe form just a short scroll down.

It’s my goal to give you the tools, resources and education to help you outperform the competition.

That’s it from me. See you on the email. 💨
