Before Superpower, Jacob Peters built LEGO communities, software and a house full of founders. His career keeps returning to one question: what happens when the right people find one another?

Michael Houck is a serial entrepreneur and creator who went from driving for Uber to pay rent, to building a $15M venture-backed startup with a16z, to bootstrapping a $3M/year media and SaaS portfolio — all before 35. He runs Founding Journey, a 236,000-subscriber newsletter on startup building, and Megaphone, a viral content amplification platform, under his holding company Rye Valley LLC. After departing Launch House following a 2022 PR crisis, he rebuilt entirely on his own terms: no investors, no bosses, full ownership.
