extra paid day off for gta 6 😂

[Hamit Arslan @HamitTArslan]

during my first experience as an ai startup founder with LocIn Ai, General Translation was probably the closest team to what we were building. Archie actually DMed me and we talked quite a bit about localization and what we were working on

then what happened?

school exams hit, and right after that i went to Portugal for a 2-week Erasmus internship i'd earned through a competitive selection process. couldn't really keep working on LocIn AI, so we eventually shut it down with $0 revenue and 23 Product Hunt users (hit #14 product of the day with 110+ upvotes)

anyway, these guys were absofuckinglutely good at what they were doing. and now they've raised $27M led by a16z. insane

huge congrats to Archie and the entire GT team. so well deserved

(also i've seen like 6 different funding announcements in the past hour alone. interesting day lmao)

[Archie McKenzie @archiemckenzie_]

General Translation has raised $27m led by @martin_casado at @a16z to localize the world’s best companies.

Today, @generaltxn serves Ramp, Cursor, and Sierra by translating apps, sites, docs, slide decks, and even product videos into dozens of languages.

a16z invested alongside @upfrontvc, Peter Thiel, Fei-Fei Li, and more. 🧵

i gave an ai my startup instead of building a growth team just to see what it would actually do with it

[Hamit Arslan @HamitTArslan]

this space has potential ngl

save it from the dead concrete look and turn it into a spot where students would actually wanna hang, chill and vibe

note: it’s the central area on the top floor of a school, corridors on both sides, stairs behind the camera

[Hamit Arslan @HamitTArslan]

building something incredibly stupid rn

if it goes viral it makes money and somehow helps saas products make money too
