AI + Media @Meta ⬅️ Founder @ Sima Labs; Top 1% Chess ♟️ player in 🇺🇸 (Elo: 2300+)

[Rushaan 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @Rushaanchess]

Super exciting news 😎🎉

Building at the frontier of AI + Media @ Sima Labs with my co-founder Sophie Raniwala (in the pic below) has been electric and exciting ⚡️

I’m thrilled to share that we’re joining Meta 🥳!!! Super pumped to ship and build at massive scale (WOW —> 3.5B+ users is a lot across Instagram + WhatsApp + Facebook + the entire FoA (Family of Apps)).

Building Sima Labs has been equal parts obsession, uncertainty, and pure joy. Some days felt impossible; others felt like pure magic 🪄 in the world of AI + media infrastructure. Along the way, our customers, investors, and especially our team showed up with a level of belief and trust we’re endlessly grateful for.

Now we’re getting the opportunity to work on global-scale technology, with resources that finally match the ambition we’ve carried since Day 0️⃣

We can’t wait to keep building and to help accelerate AI + Media at Meta.

PASSION | PATIENCE | PERSEVERANCE --> the motto along the way 🎶

CC: so many amazing friends + investors + customers along the way (many more, thank you!!)

How should founders spend time over the holidays?

Besides rest & family, it’s a time to seek inspiration.

Read books, visit a museum, hike, write, have a deep conversation over wine, synthesize thoughts.

Many of my best ideas have unintentionally hatched Dec 20-Jan 6.
