“I write to find out what I know and what I don’t know, like writing is thinking to me.”


Eric Jorgenson is a startup growth guy and writer. He is on the founding team of Zaarly, and has been publishing online since 2014. His business blog, Evergreen, has educated and entertained over a million readers. Eric is on a quest to create (and eat) the perfect sandwich. He tweets at @ericjorgenson and publishes new pieces and projects on ejorgenson.com. And he is also the author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A guide to wealth and happiness.
