The Time I Pitched Logan Paul

Three weeks to build a tax-aware investing app. Four full MVPs. Plaid integration. Move-style rails. A real iOS app. We pitched investors including Logan Paul.

Speed reveals everything. The product had momentum. The team didn't.

We had different working styles. Different values. The kind of misalignment that compounds when you're sprinting.

By week three: traction, investor interest, a story starting to click. But no trust.

We paused the launch.

The lesson: move fast to find the truth, then have the courage to act on it.

Aura Invest never launched. But I learned that alignment beats momentum. That knowing when to stop is as valuable as knowing when to ship.
