The Instrument and the Patient

Kiran Velani

Kiran Velani grew up poor in Queens, studied computer science and economics at Columbia, and spent two decades building and investing in technology companies — including an early platform that democratized startup funding. His intellectual formation is cross-disciplinary: Feynman's first-principles reductionism, game theory learned by playing rather than studying, Eastern philosophy for emotional discipline, and Nassim Taleb's accountability ethic. He synthesizes these into a distinctive voice — staccato, meditative, aphoristic — that strips complex material to its atomic core. He states verdicts plainly, defines every term on arrival, and trusts silence to do the work that most writers ask jargon to do.
