- Over the past year, I’ve spent 800 + hours building two open‑source apps (Exo & Orbit) and 400 + hours creating 25 + videos (while being a ft student). Now with GenAI and AI Agents, it’s unlocking a whole new dimension of consumer social that is growing and changing by the day and I have wild ideas that I’d like to bring to life
Describe what you’re building in one sentence
A fourth dimension to the world where you literally bump into the people who can transform your life
What’s the most impressive traction you have so far?
- My university reached out to me to write an article about me: https://rami-maalouf.tech/uc-orbit-article
- They also did a video interview: https://rami-maalouf.tech/uc-orbit-vid

What convinced you to apply?
I discovered your YouTube channel almost a year ago, and found it absolutely crazy that I didn’t know these existed. Just a year ago, I had no idea all these things like Neo, ZFellows, Thiel, etc… existed. It started with me learning about you guys then slowly over the last few months I learned about the other accelerators/hacker houses in SF and around the world.
I slowly noticed how ‘different’ you guys were so when my friend (Izy) told me abt the off-season, I knew that I had to be a part of it.
What is the coolest thing you’ve built
Over this past year, I have spent over 800 hours working on 2 mobile apps: Exo and Orbit, and 400+ hours creating 25+ videos. These open-source apps and the community around them represent everything I stand for: using technology to reduce the barrier to human connection. More info:
