York Sims

The Short Version

I am a builder. I build software, AI agents, hardware designs, blockchain payment systems, businesses, physical products, and a few things that do not fit in a category. I ship across 10 verticals simultaneously through my company Caipher AI LLC, a Wyoming holding company with 5 operating subsidiaries.

Before this I played D1 college basketball and went pro overseas in Ankara, Turkey. The transition from athlete to founder taught me more about building than any degree or program I have encountered. The discipline carries over. The rest you learn by doing.

Why I Built This

YorkSims.com exists because the platform I needed did not exist when I started. I wanted one place where I could learn to ship a SaaS product, structure an LLC, build an AI agent, develop raw land, and understand blockchain payments. Every resource I found covered one topic, in one format, by one person who usually had not done the thing they were teaching.

So I started building everything myself and documenting it. Not tutorials. Not motivation. The actual work: the code, the contracts, the receipts, the mistakes. That documentation became YorkSims.

What I Have Built

Every one of these has a public breakdown on the blog or in the verticals. I do not claim things I cannot show.

The Athlete Arc

I played D1 basketball. After college I signed a contract to play professionally in Ankara, Turkey. Different country, different language, different style of play. I had a week to figure it out.

The first month was miserable. By the second month I stopped trying to force my old game and started learning theirs. That entire experience is what building a business feels like every day. You land in an environment where you do not know the rules. You learn the new rules or you go home.

The transition from athletics to business is the most under-documented founder journey I know. The discipline you build in 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is a bigger advantage than most people realize. It is not about grit. It is about repetition under supervision, adapted to a new domain. The Athlete vertical on YorkSims is a direct bridge for anyone making that transition.

How I Work

• Monday and Tuesday: deep build sessions. No calls. Just shipping.
• Wednesday: review day. MoltBot reports, Otto transcripts, analytics, financials.
• Thursday: people day. Coaching, Q&A, 1-on-1s.
• Friday: content and planning. Write, record, ship.

I wake up at 5:30 AM and have since college. The morning routine is the same every day. I write code at 6 AM without checking my feelings about it. That sentence sounds dramatic but it is the whole framework.

What I Believe

• Execution beats theory every time. Show the work.
• Breadth compounds. The best founders know more domains than their competitors.
• Receipts beat marketing. Link to the repo, the contract, the filing.
• Automation is not laziness. It is focus management.
• Athletes have the biggest unfair advantage and most of them do not know it yet.
• You do not need permission to build across categories.
