Life update: I'm joining @heyclicky! I met Farza 4-yrs ago through buildspace, N&W S1. I started my startup from there, built a social app for artists to 500,000 users, raised $2.3M, built the team, and sold it a year ago. After the exit, I had no idea what was next! So I did a 10-day silent meditation retreat...I had no phone, no internet, and was doing 10-11 hours of meditation a day! After, I flew to Vietnam with my mom and sister for two weeks. Came back to SF, started cooking my meals again after 3-years of Doordash, got back in the gym, and got my health together (something that degraded during my startup). From there, I just started tinkering. I built iOS apps, random demos, playing around with different ways to interact with AI, and honestly just learning to have fun while building again. (Surprisingly hard after being a founder once!) The more I explored, the more I felt we're just really early. ChatGPT was a huge unlock, but I don't think we've seen a new wave of consumer adoption since, especially with agents. How can the power of these models really be brought to their fullest. A lot left to find. Back to the Farza arc. One day I crossed paths with him in the Marina. Turns out we'd been living 5-mins apart this whole time. Invited him for dinner, started going on a lot of walks randomly talking about life. When he started working on HeyClicky, I jumped in just to hack around and have fun. $0 a week salary. Since then, we've gotten 10M+ views across our demos. But more importantly, we've been doing a ton of customer interviews, and so many people genuinely love the product. We've got: An 11-year-old building games with his voice. A Chief of Staff delegating background tasks to HeyClicky while she focuses on real work. An indie designer using it as an orchestrator for his whole system. A 70-year-old from Yemen learning to use a laptop for the first time, with just his voice. I wasn't looking for anything...but something clicked here ;) Going all in. Let's build!
