Welcome to Derek Sakamoto’s blog!

It’s good to have you here! I set up this blog for friends, family, and colleagues as a better way to stay in touch than social media. Most of what will be on this blog will be about starting Parachute and the thinking that goes behind the company, but I may also go into some other areas like personal growth, learning new sports, etc.

What’s my promise to the reader?

I love ideas and processing problems, and that’s probably why we connected. This is the best medium for this, which would bring out the best of me. However, I want this to be a valuable use of time. So here are the criteria I will use for my posts:

• Aspire for short and sweet — easy-to-read casually without needing to set time

• Use an inquisitive tone — share ideas rather than start debates

• One fact at a time — most posts will be about one data point at a time

However, if you would like more, please just reach out: let’s grab a beer, sip some coffee, go for a walk, ski some runs, or play a round of golf.
