Working with Tim Su on a new company. If there was an infomercial for it, it would start off something like: "Are YOU tired of all the AI hype where fancy new LLM products over-promise and under-deliver? Is ChatGPT still the only new AI product you've used that's done something actually useful for you? Well we have a new product for you..."
Angel investor, Fund LP & CEO advisor. Angel investing typically focuses on B2B SaaS, especially with product lead components. Funds invested in target seed and early stage. Advising work with CEO usually focuses on product development, team structure, fundraising, finding message market fit and early go to market tactics.
Teamed up with Tim Su looking for an LLM idea worth building a company around. We built out and got feedback on 4 prototypes that didn't make the cut before we got to our fifth idea and decided to make a go for it. DraftMailDataCat was the name of the LLC we created as a holding place before converting it into a C Corp and naming the company Distill.
