About
For Odd People Who Matter.
Oddinary Space started with a problem I kept running into, and a question other people kept asking me.
I've spent the last few years building things that don't fit neatly into a category: a company making patented anti-counterfeiting technology for pharma packaging, work on drones, and a circular-economy project on batteries and solar panels. Every one of them needed people I didn't know yet. An investor who backs this kind of hardware. A lab working on the problem next to mine. A collaborator with the skill I was missing.
Finding them was the hard part. Not because they were hidden, but because the signals were scattered: a launch here, a hiring post there, a paper, a partnership, a portfolio page, a founder's post at midnight. By the time anything was announced, the conversation had usually already happened.
At the same time, juniors and friends kept asking me the same thing: how do you get a role that isn't posted? Chief of staff, AI and automation, venture building, a first hire in a new market, the job that gets created for someone because they showed up with the right proof at the right time. The honest answer was: you find the team before the post, and you write to the person who decides, with a reason that's about them.
Oddinary Space is that answer, built as a system. It reads the signals every day, understands what each company is about to need, sets that against what you've actually done, and drafts the note. You decide what gets sent.
Why the name
ordinaryoddinary
Change one letter in ordinary and it becomes odd. That's the whole idea. The people this is for aren't ordinary candidates. Their paths are odd in the best way, and the opportunities that fit them are odd too: unposted, unlisted, still forming. The space is where those two find each other.
What we hold to
Evidence before action
Every recommendation shows its proof. Weak evidence means wait or research more, not send.
Respect the recipient
No mass email. If the system can't justify contact, it doesn't make it.
Your work stays yours
Shared learning improves the system for everyone. Nobody sees anyone else's messages.
Narrow on purpose
Unconventional roles for unconventional paths, reached in unconventional ways: a sharp observation and a real proposal.
