Aric Gao — Founder / Trader / Writer
Where building, trading & growth
become writing.
I'm Aric Gao — a founder and trader documenting the messy middle: startup lessons, market scars, books that rewired me, and notes on the long game. Written slowly. Updated often.

Markets, position sizing, risk — and the deeply human part of staying disciplined.
Enter →Books
The best books I read, broken down into tools you can actually use.

Aric Gao — serial founder, independent trader, and someone who can't stop writing his thinking down.
I believe writing in public is the best compounding there is: it forces vague intuition into clear logic, and it lets the right people find you. This site is my thinking archive — about building, trading, and becoming a steadier person.
No final answers here. Just the honest record of someone still figuring it out. If one piece is useful to you, it was worth writing.
The long game
Ideas are worth more
once they're written down.
Building, trading, growing — turning every chapter into words I can revisit and compound.
