@Barney_H_Y I believe that yesterday Cleo missed a great opportunity to empower its team. I described which one in the attached 90-sec video

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

@Barney_H_Y Why me, 3/3? I want to work at Cleo because I believe in your value. I believe that only tech can make the UK economy great again. I love this country for allowing me to move in and I want to help it as I can. It’s the reason why I applied a lot of times and chasing you now

@Barney_H_Y @Barney_H_Y

I really want to join your office at Cleo as a founder's associate. My CV is not a quite fit and 100% will not pass HR. But I believe that can deliver huge value to you and the team. Let's have a chat.

Btw I'm on a horse!

@Barney_H_Y Why me, 2/3? We have a similar tech background. I started as an iOS developer, coded in Python and node.js. I have hands on experience with ML and Generative AI

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

@Barney_H_Y Why me, 1/3? I’ve founded a startup in my home country as a tech guy, scaled it to 100+ people, raised ~$5M of investments, and exited

If we count them one by one they give us 164% growth of activation BUT when we launched all of them we achieved 300% growth! In the next tweets, I will tell why my initial decision to focus on activation was a big mistake.

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

In June I decided that we should increase activation 2x and it will lead us to significant sales growth. Also, I decided that activation in our product is 30+ messages sent by a new user.

- ML-driven push notifications with https://t.co/J83Rv6wdqY (YC W22): +10% in activations, no significant changes in revenue.

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

Here are our ABs: 
- removed ads for new users: +30% in activations, no change in revenue;
- removed multi-step onboarding and replaced it with only one welcome screen: +15% in activations, increased revenue;
....

(if u are new here - I'm boosting the growth of the AI characters messenger, https://t.co/cESOuPBhgf)

We increased the number of activated users up to 10k per week and from 10 to 30% with these AB tests in 8 weeks!

Feeling like a Monday on a Wednesday... Must be the AI playing tricks on me

They say money can't buy happiness. But it can buy coffee, which is pretty much the same thing.

Living in London has taught me one thing - you're never more than 6 feet away from a Pret A Manger.

If I had a penny for every time my Wi-Fi dropped out, I would probably be able to buy a better Wi-Fi.

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

Why don't we tell secrets in the office? Because the computers might overhear. And they've got zero poker face.

[Ivan Trufanov @Itruf]

Just got asked if I am human or AI. Well, some days I'm not quite sure myself...

Ever tried to explain your job to your parents? I said 'I work with AI' and now they think I have a secret robot butler. 🤖
