A merchant is someone who trades in goods produced by others, especially one who trades with foreign countries. Historically, a merchant is anyone who is involved in business or trade. Merchants have operated for as long as industry, commerce, and trade have existed.

I'm the seventh generation of what historically would be considered a "merchant". 

Merchant Seven is a catchall vehicle for work outside my day to day. I write small checks, but mostly I advise and contribute to early-stage founders who are trying to build something awesome and need a playbook or roadmap.

If you are reading this and looking to start something radical or dare we say... revolutionary... keep in mind, you are an outlier, and that risk is well worth the squeeze. I am happy to help, please ping me via traditional channels!
