What M3S has published so far, in one place. Free to read, free to use.

01 · Start here

New here? Read these two first.

"Expertise doesn't scale. Infrastructure does." sets up the M3S worldview. "The two failure modes I see in privately held firms between $5M and $50M" shows what happens when BD has no infrastructure. The Journal pins its Foundations, the anchor pieces, as they publish: two are live today and the rest are marked coming soon.

03 · The newsletter

The Middle Third

Once a month, on one subject: how a privately held firm between $5M and $50M ends up with a business-development function that outlives the people who started it. One idea, two or three curated reads, one line on how to reach us.

Once a month. No pitch. Leave whenever you like.
