Luther Lowe on Founder

“Tech is not a monolith.” As I hit 1 year mark at @ycombinator, proud of our work at giving little tech a voice in public policy. Thanks Bloomberg and @mcbridesg for exploring how we're helping founders navigate Washington, Brussels, and beyond. (🔗 below)

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
