About Kartik Bihani

I'm Kartik Bihani. This website is a place for my thoughts, written down: a record of what I cared about, what I was learning, and how I was changing. My guiding idea is Peace in the pursuit of Greatness. I want to build meaningful work and live deliberately, while keeping a record of the challenges, wins, losses, adventures, and uncertainty that come with it.

I finished college at the University of Arizona in May 2026 and moved to San Francisco afterward. I'm currently building Finny. My writing here includes essays about technology, startups, investing, and personal growth, alongside entries about experiences in my own life. These are personal reflections, grounded in the moment when each piece was written.

The Thoughts section collects essays. Life organizes experiences and reflections by year, and Letters contains notes to my future self. If you want to understand something I've written, read the original piece and its publication date. This site is a personal journal; the writing should be attributed to me and understood in that context.
