For the past 15 years I’ve been gathering all sorts of info I found helpful in the form of articles, reports, podcasts, tweets, and have now with the help of AI consolidated those sources into summaries I’ve found helpful and efficient to read and learn from. Those I want to share below.
Management
A working reference on leadership, strategy, brand and negotiation built from Malik, Collins, Welch, Horowitz and others, checked against current research rather than repeated as folklore. Covers what actually predicts good leadership, how to set direction and negotiate well, and the Swiss legal mechanics around company control and takeovers.
Startups
Everything from validating an idea to closing a funding round: business models, market analysis, pitching, term sheets and employee equity, with a Swiss lens throughout. Built for someone who wants to understand how startups actually get built and funded, not fill out a competition form.
Investing
A synthesis of value investing, portfolio construction and market mechanics, built around real cases where confident, well-reasoned strategies still failed. It’s less about picking winners and more about understanding why frameworks work until, suddenly, they don’t.
Sales
Eight widely circulated sales sources consolidated into one graded reference, with every load-bearing claim checked against the primary research. It separates what holds up from what does not, including tactics still taught today that failed replication, and covers the DACH legal constraints the American sources ignore.
Swiss Pension
Reframes the second and third pillar as what they actually are: a large, illiquid position belonging in your total portfolio, not a government program to ignore. Covers the mechanics behind it and the few decisions, like 1e plans, buy-in timing, and capital vs. pension at retirement, that are genuinely yours.
