Fudge Factor Returns
Specific topical thought packaged neatly for datacenters in the sky
Format. When I started thinking about what I should write next, it occurred to me that format was a relaxing and structured way of getting specific topical thought packaged neatly. Unfortunately, format was also a bit constrained depending on which format was used which day of the week.
For example, markets don’t just move on Monday.
Then again, sometimes they do.
Ideas. One of my favorite ideas centered on digesting dozens of newsletters to surface and elevate ideas from the writing of others.
However, I also have ideas.
Getting back to the original Fudge Factor concept is overdue.
- Google Suncatcher. I would also argue that it is almost comical that Google Suncatcher arrived just as I was going deep into datacenters in the sky.
- Upward. Fudge Factor was. Fudge Factor it shall be onward. And, literally, upward. 🤓

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
