Welcome to Taps’ Notes!
My name is Rishi Taparia and my friends call me Taps. This is one of my little corners of the Internet. As a subscriber, you'll get a lot of what's on my mind as an early-stage startup investor, as well as a weekly roundup of interesting tidbits (aka. Tippets) from around the web.
My goal is to share thoughts on topics I find interesting and get feedback to further sharpen my thinking and expand my frame of reference.
I also share the stories of some of the amazing people I’ve met throughout my life in a series called Taproom.
Why subscribe?
I’ll let some of my readers answer.

I’ve been reading Tippets by @taps for the past year and I love his insights about the world of retail, tech, and the future of work.
Plus, the fact that he’s a fellow Wildcat is just icing on the cake :)
