I'm Chris, from New Zealand, Australia, Stanford, and San Diego. I've created [breakoutlist.com](https://www.breakoutlist.com) to help engineers find good startups, and [prismaticco.org](https://www.prismaticco.org) with my wife Nina to match startups to vendors. I've written about [how to get into Stanford](https://stanfordguide.org/how-to-get-into-stanford-6c8ebf1b6921) and created a [GPU parody song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGpnXANXGUg) mentioned in the NY Times. My writings and websites cover topics from [coaching superpowers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YFJf37bOEYg8mWpRuC7dtaaZY9G5WyAHYLQE1T7YlvI/edit#heading=h.3ry9anwf4h89) to [health](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g1qqDr9ko4jzs3NNSN-2NrdEHsDJeab6BJd4Y3vjxAU/edit#heading=h.cascoeoe4zt9), [intuition](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6xJG5_al7mDSY68-r3ky1GjCR4NvyosKHo_65q1CaU/edit), [H100 supply and demand](https://gpus.llm-utils.org/nvidia-h100-gpus-supply-and-demand/), [OpenAI API status](https://openai-status.llm-utils.org), and [ambitious bootstrappers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a21RCVfnLKdmKVpTBdbmpK2vNSTOAx1GzH5AHH9Ml7A/edit#heading=h.6zv9qgyrmqgf). Over the years, my various writings and projects have reached a total of 15 million unique readers. I live in San Diego with my family. I enjoy async communication (voice messages) and prefer to avoid scheduled meetings. Key skills I'd teach my younger self include making others feel understood, consulting intuition for decisions, and avoiding everyday toxins.
