life update: @alainmik and i are starting a new company, backed by a16z @speedrun.
here's the bet:
we consume other people.
what they wear, what they eat, what they buy.
attention is on the feed; checkout lives somewhere else.
weβre building the bridge between media and commerce.
in my last startup i was building AI for retail. that's where i saw this problem. alain saw it from the other side, building and exiting MundoPet, and then as Partner and COO of BR Media Group, now part of Publicis Groupe. heβs one of the sharpest operators I know, and Iβm glad to be building alongside him.
more on what we're building soon. until then:
if you run marketing or e-commerce at a brand or retailer, i'd love to show you what we're working on.
if you're an engineer who wants to build products that millions of people touch every day, we're hiring in New York.
we couldn't have better partners to help us crack this industry. huge thanks to @kenanhsaleh@custo_lejla@andrewchen@nazzari@_CallMeMacy@tmhammer@Chen@tabishgilani@thetalentcarver@justmazer@TheRioDeGennaro and the entire @speedrun team for being early believers π
