About Groundbreaker

Groundbreaker publishes research where capital meets the physical world. Everyone works from the same public filings - the difference is what you’re willing to conclude from them, and whether you’ll hold a view the consensus hasn’t reached yet.

Groundbreaker goes looking for the mispriced risk and the misclassified company: assets the market has filed under the wrong heading, stories that holds up only because no one has bothered to dig deeper. My theses are created in full rather than piecemeal - early and independent - driven by having a novel and creative viewpoint.

About the Author

I’ve spent over a decade in institutional private credit, real estate, and equity research. I began my career covering public equities at Bank of America Merrill Lynch - then the #1-ranked firm in Institutional Investor’s annual research rankings. From there, I moved to a $100 billion AUM private equity and infrastructure firm. I’m an alumnus of the Wharton School.

A note on process: To produce charts and graphics and as a first reader for feedback on the writing, I typically utilize LLM tools. I’m a one-man band with no access to Bloomberg or a team of analysts, and I find it improves the quality and output speed of my theses. It lets me ship an institutional-grade article every two to three weeks as opposed to every two to three months. The theses, the drafts, the judgments, and the conclusions are all human.
