Tyler Myracle
I'm a builder, product thinker, and investor.
Some things about me:
- Grew up in Wichita Falls, TX
- Studied at Texas A&M and my degree is in Chemical Engineering
-
Worked in chemicals, refining, drilling, oil & gas production, and
technology
-
Got my start in tech as an early hire and eventually Head of Product
at Workrise
-
Led a new product in the manufacturing space at Samsara and worked on
end-to-end encryption for Messenger at Meta
- Part of the 4th Founder Fellowship cohort at South Park Commons
- Live in San Francisco
What I'm currently interested in:
- Replacing human-intensive software workflows with AI
-
Technology should make us more efficient, not create more busy work
-
LLMs unlock new opportunities to interface with unstructured data
- Operating efficiency in software companies
-
Most companies have too many resources allocated to things that
don't matter
-
The allure of large margins has led to sloppiness at the P&L level
-
New tools are making it easier to do things faster with less
resources
- Transformation of tech-enabled service companies
-
Companies now have the ability to transition from tech-enabled to
tech-first
- Results as the product > people as the product
Operating principles:
- You can learn anything
- It's never too late to be a beginner
- The days are long, but the years are short
-
Everyone starts from the same place, the difference is the work
- Agency, agency, agency
- Take matters into your own hands
- No one is coming to save you
- Action is inspiring
- Believe you can bend the universe to your will
- Great people make it all worth it
- Great teams are a powerful compounding force
- Great teams win and winning is fun
- Less, but better
- High velocity is the default
- Choose your vector wisely
- Compressing cycle times is a superpower
- Get to the heart of the issue and tackle it head on
- Why not today?
- Be kind
- Don't be an asshole
- Assume the best in people until proven otherwise
- Invest in the success of others
- Have empathy
Investing:
-
My primary focus is pre-seed and seed investing via small checks
- Due diligence priorities: market, then team.
