Personal headquarters
I spent years around politics and institutions. Now I am moving toward capital, biotech, and industries that compound faster.
I am Grant P. Rooney. This site is my active notebook: what I am learning, what I am building, and where I am heading.
What I am focused on now
- Improving how early teams move from idea to fundable plan.
- Studying capital allocation in health and frontier-industry businesses.
- Publishing consistently so progress is visible, not hidden.
