Buford Taylor’s site is a personal homepage built around a simple premise: a full public record of a varied career. Buford describes himself as an engineer, founder, dad, and expat, and notes that he was formerly homeless and a convicted felon before being pardoned, retiring at 38. The site collects his companies, novels, essays, and a changelog in one place.
The core content is split between business and writing. On the business side, he lists 17 companies he started or joined since 2007, including Casting Call Club, Eventbrite, and Reforge, and is candid that most shut down. On the writing side, he publishes science fiction as Leonard Buford, including the Nouscraft trilogy, which has sold over 10,000 copies, plus an autobiography and essays on hiring and company building.
The site suits founders, engineers, and readers curious about startup failure and reinvention. It is also useful for science fiction readers looking for a new series. Because much of the material is personal and ongoing, visitors should treat it as a working record rather than polished documentation.
Use the Companies and Novels and essays sections to navigate. Sample chapters are available for upcoming books like Sol Truckers and Buford versus Oklahoma. Overall, it is a compact, honest snapshot of one founder’s work and writing.
