Built to Last with Jeremy Stayton
Hi, I’m Jeremy Stayton, CEO of DeepNet. Over the years, I’ve watched a lot of companies grow fast—and fade just as fast. The difference between the ones that last and the ones that don’t usually comes down to one thing: how they’re built.
Built to Last is a series about the structural choices that make organizations resilient — things like ownership, independence, culture, and transparency. We’re not here to pitch services.

These diaries are short reflections on what’s worked for us, what we’ve learned the hard way, and how purpose and profit can coexist without compromise.
