Summary

Day to day, Adam Judelson is obsessed with complex problem sets in the product world. This has resulted in him getting more and more excited about simple, but powerful, productivity tools. He comes from Silicon Valley, joining Palantir Technologies in the early days, followed up by some VC backed startups. Outside of tech, he spends a lot of his free time with his kids, riding bikes and polishing up his Dad joke trophies. He also does ocean swimming, and loves the challenge to get out past the waves. When Adam was a Palantir, he was building great relationships with his colleagues. Then he realized that the relationships he had in his life before had moved on, or changed in natural ways. He started to wonder if there was a way to build something easy, to store information about people and prompt you to checkin with important people. This is the creation story of NetworkNerd.
