@sodofi_ But a regular week in New York could never be seen in SF

@micsolana @evanbuhler Ignoring the other side because you think the conversation is “futile” is exactly what will lead to the destruction of society. Doesn’t matter if you’re liberal or communist

@Evanrrama Does this count as selling your soul?

@faionur Shoutout Zal!

Status has raised $17M in seed and Series A funding led by @AbstractVC, @generalcatalyst and @usv to let anyone step inside their favorite stories, become famous, and live a million different lives.

We quietly launched Status last year and grew to over 1 million users in 19 days - making us the fastest growing AI app since ChatGPT.

But we hit a (predictable) snag - the app was incredibly expensive to run. How do you serve millions of users without degrading the product with a cheap LLM?

So the team locked in: we rebuilt the whole experience, and our technical bets paid off. Our users now spend 35 minutes on average to (90 minutes each day for power users!), and millions of characters and worlds have been created. All by our users.

The next frontier of entertainment is mobile-first and deeply personal. Traditional mobile games take years to build and rarely stick. TV shows are fleeting in the age of streaming. Status is different. It is not a game you finish, it is a world you can live in.

Status is a new category entirely: Immersive Social Entertainment, and we believe strongly that it is the next great entertainment paradigm. We’ve 10x’d to millions in annual revenue in Q1 2026, we're just getting started.

On Status, you can be anyone.

@faionur @usv @AbstractVC @generalcatalyst Let’s go Fai! Leading the next wave of entertainment!

We created the first-ever personalized launch video that changes for every viewer

We wanted to show a unique use case powered by Onairos, inspired by the rise of world models (@theworldlabs, @nvidia cosmos, @GoogleDeepMind ) and simulated experiences (@moonlake, @spawn)

Thanks to @faionur and @usv for hosting the consumer AI demo night yesterday!

My first time showing off Gabble to a live audience! Everyone is working on such cool projects.

NYC is the space to be building in consumer AI! Last night was a testament to that.
