I wake up grateful every morning to be living the American Dream 🇺🇸
The Dream based on a timeless promise rooted in the Pursuit of Happiness. Here, no matter your origins, you can forge your path to success and prosperity through hard work, and determination. America remains the ultimate haven for those who chase this dream via entrepreneurship: the builders, makers, and founders.
Though they may not grace the headlines, the true heroes modeling the American Dream are our Main Street operators in every town across this land of the free. They fuel local economies, serve their communities, and represent the backbone of our economy
- 40% of US GDP
- 60 million Americans employed
Yet today, we face a crisis:
- The majority of our the SMBs are owned and operated by boomers approaching retirement without a clear path to pass the torch.
- Our best on-the-ground operators lack the financial vehicles to become owners.
Fueled by these threats, we partnered with Will Fry,
@BuySellSMB, and Joe Lonsdale,
@JTLonsdale, to build American Operator,

Based in Austin, TX, American Operator is rapidly scaling the team, hiring great engineers and operators. DM

Let’s Revive the American Dream 🇺🇸
Today, we launched American Operator - a national effort to revive the American Dream through business ownership. America’s SMBs are critical and belong in the hands of the next generation of local owners.
