Kamran Arshad

Editor-in-Chief
Covering AI since 2021

Kamran Arshad is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Spinoza Journal, an independent publication covering the AI product category.

The Journal reviews tools against what they actually do in production, and tracks the category as it moves: launches, pricing shifts, positioning changes, and the cadence of who is widening a moat and who is losing one.

Kamran also advises first-time founders building AI products on pricing, positioning, go-to-market, and the narrative choices that compound into a defensible moat.

He edits to one standard: every review should save the reader from the wrong purchase, or send them confidently toward the right one.
