Welcome to Startup Anthology!
At Startup Anthology, we celebrate the unsung heroes of the startup world—the employees and managers who drive innovation from the ground up. Our mission is to illuminate their stories, offering a platform that delves into the unique journeys within the startup ecosystem.
Our Focus
Startup culture stands apart from traditional corporate environments, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds in a fast-paced setting that prioritizes creativity, innovation, and community. As these individuals collaborate, their experiences intertwine, forming the rich tapestry—what we call the Startup Anthology.
Unlike narratives that center solely on founders, we spotlight the imaginative individuals who contribute to a startup’s evolution. Our goal is to document their personal experiences as the company grows and transforms, providing insights into the challenges and triumphs encountered along the way.

We delve deep into the critical stages of a startup’s lifecycle—from pre-seed to growth and beyond—sharing lessons learned and fostering a space for connection and support.

About me
Hi, I’m Jeremy Willis, the founder of Startup Anthology. With over 20 years of experience across industries—including nuclear mechanical operations, electromechanical technology, and senior management in quality assurance—I’ve always been passionate about solving tough problems and building systems that empower people.
My journey into the startup world began at ICON, where I joined as one of the earliest employees and experienced firsthand the challenges and excitement of building something from the ground up. I quickly realized how unique startup culture is, how it constantly evolves as companies grow, and how employees play a vital role in shaping the success of those companies.
I created Startup Anthology to tell the stories often left untold—the experiences of employees, middle managers, and founders who drive innovation and navigate the complexities of startup life. This platform is a place to connect, learn, and share the lessons and insights we gain from the fast-paced, unpredictable world of startups.
Through the podcast, tools, and community, my goal is to help people better understand where they thrive in the startup ecosystem, while also empowering companies to create healthier cultures and more productive teams. Let’s celebrate the journey together—because in startups, every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
Best,
Jeremy Willis
