Startups, life, learning and happiness

Hi, I'm Joel Gascoigne, the founder of Buffer. This is where I share the lessons I've learned along my incredible journey.

About me

My Creations

I would class myself as a fledgling entrepreneur. I’ve not “made it” yet, but I don’t hesitate to build and ship products. I’ve had some level of success with many products, and with each one I release and with each iteration of my existing products I learn more. Take a look at my creations, I will be eternally grateful for any suggestions or advice you have. I’d also love to help you if you are getting started.

My email is me@joel.is. I’d also love to be in touch on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn.

  • Buffer: Never flood your followers again. Buffer spreads your Tweets out for you during the day. They’ll love you for it.
  • OnePage: Your business card in the cloud: you never run out, and your contact details are always up to date.
