Pitch your startup in one sentence
reducing the friction to human connection for busy young professionals
Startup Description
I’m exploring 4 bets on the future of human connection. Each one tackles a different stage of building relationships. They all align with my mission:
- AI companion that knows you and effortlessly connects you with who you’re looking for as you go through your day. Built Ember (heyember.me) with 100+ users at UCalgary and UWaterloo. Currently exploring the B2B side. Might join forces with offlinesocialnetwork.com
- Bonding games like werenotreallystrangers.com but it grows with you. prototype: questiontration.vercel.app
- A mix of pally.com and paired.com but autonomous n AI-native. prototype: devpost.com/software/7degree
- rejecto.io but better
I’m very aware that if I want to have a chance of succeeding, I need to focus on one. But I can’t get myself to leave one behind because I see potential in all of them atm. I’m currently in the process of narrowing down, but I’d love to get on a call to discuss this asap. I’d love to hear you guys’ thoughts and suggestions on what to focus on and maybe find a co-founder that resonates with 1 of the 4 things I built MVPs for
My life mission is to help people unlock deeper connections with the world around them
The way I execute on that mission is through three things:
- Content creation
- Building software
- Building communities: instagram.com/thechalantsociety
Over the past year and a half, my delusions and ignorance has led me to waste a lot of time building in the consumer social space but now I believe I have payed my ignorance debt. I share everything I wish I knew on instagram.com/avoidingthetarpit
I have experience with the latest AI tech through my own projects (youtu.be/CyZygumNDG8) but also with IBM
