NICK WHITAKER

I’m Nick Whitaker. I’m a founder and editor of Works in Progress. We’re now part of Stripe. All views on this site are my own.

Some things I’m proud of:

• My publications

• Helping to create Works in Progress

• Teaching on Progress Studies for Young Scholars

• Receiving an Emergent Ventures grant

• Investing in Melange

I see mentors as essential and am very thankful to the people who have mentored me:

• Tyler Cowen

• My partners on Works in Progress: Sam Bowman, Ben Southwood, and Saloni Dattani

• Ryan Murphy and Dan D’Amico, who taught me economics.

• Richard Kimberly Heck, Matthew Lockard, & Robert Howell: Some of my philosophy professors, whose teaching and guidance especially impacted me.

• John Myers

• Justin Germain

• My peer mentors and close friends: Brad Davis, Aristotle and Alexander Magganas, Zach Mazlish, Glenn Yu, Leopold Aschenbrenner, Jack Shaw, and Jack Wrenson, whom I learn from often.

• And, of course, my parents

I hope to pay their efforts forward someday (See Cowen’s 8th Rule for Life).
