Neil Gulino

Husband, father, friend, endurance athlete, Veteran, and builder — roughly in that order, depending on the week.

I've spent thirty years in technology, helping enterprise clients turn tangled problems into things that actually ship. Somewhere along the way I stopped just watching AI arrive and started building with it every day — equal parts thrilling and humbling. Mostly it's taught me that the future doesn't show up finished. You build it one stubborn iteration at a time.

I run. I ride. I believe in big goals earned one disciplined mile at a time — a belief that gets tested somewhere around mile sixty, every single time.

I also build things — in public, where the mistakes show.

Durable Ventures is where I put AI to work in the open — a set of publishing ventures I run with AI agents. I learn what actually holds up the hard way: by building it myself, with my own name on it.

THE POINT
Big goals, earned one disciplined mile at a time — a new one every year. My wife has learned to ask "so what now?" with a completely straight face.

Reach out — for collaboration, or just to compare notes.

Email is the fastest way to me — faster than I climb, anyway. If you want to talk shop on AI and enterprise delivery, or about the ride, I'd love to hear from you.
