Built in Kilkenny

Long-form interviews with founders and builders in Kilkenny. Honest conversations about building something from nothing.

I'm Charlie Cook, based in Kilkenny, Ireland. I've spent my career working nine to five, and I've spent every evening building something that might let me stop. I use AI to move at the speed of a team. I document everything publicly because I think the honest version of building a business is more useful than the polished one.
