Who’s behind the mic?
Hey, I’m Gabriel. I’ve spent the last few years helping founders bring their ideas to life, and I’ve learned that building a startup is a lot like playing chess. Every move counts. On The Founder’s Gambit, I talk with other founders about the tough choices, lucky breaks, and small wins that shaped their journeys. Just real stories about what it’s like to build something from scratch.
