#AI #Wearables #YC
My name is Farqaleet, but most people call me Kiani. I've always loved building things.
As a kid I took things apart and found ways to put them back together. So in university i pursued a degree in mechatronics engineering. I've worked at AMD, General Motors and was a Senior Software Engineer at @Tesla .
Over the years I had the privilege to mentor many bright young minds. One day my mentee (Haris ) told me about an idea he had with his friend Vikram, he wanted to build the future of Al Wearables, and he wanted me to help lead the hardware.
I had originally hired Haris for this drive and energy, and he would always pitch me startup ideas. I was intrigued because I love hardware and found the Al Wearable space very interesting. It was a tough decision, could I really leave a stable job at Tesla to work at a startup? But I thought about it, and if there's anyone who could disrupt this space, it's Haris.
I believed in the vision from that moment on, and I packed my bags and moved to San Francisco to start @tryvexoai . Now we're gearing up for Demo Day at @ycombinator

I got rejected from Y Combinator 3 times
But every time I learned from my mistakes, improved my code, worked on the idea and tried again
Here’s how I got in the 4th time
This is what a day in my life as a co-founder of a AI Hardware startup looks like. Hours at my desk building, testing, failing and getting back up and trying again.
