story so far
- wanted to be a pilot so bad in 10th standard
- picked up game dev as a hobby, played around with unity and unreal
- figured building things is cool and i'd rather try my hand at entrepreneurship
- CPL plan dropped, found myself in an engineering college with no plan and pursuing a degree i had 0 interest in
- used to enjoy making videos (might return to it someday)
- first venture in video editing media groww with Jeet
- tried to build a software around it fastcut with Harsh
- bootstrapped it to 143 customers across 38 countries (lifetime)
- eventually couldn't market and scale, failed miserably
- timothy from ponder reached out; believed in me when i didn't 🫶
- joined ponder as founding engineer (remote)
- ff 2 months; didn't work out
- started to explore some ideas; found ai geo interesting
- lalit reached out, and honestly i really wanted to work on delty with him
- instead, decided to go all in on citerank; ai geo tool
- soon realized i don't care enough about the problem
- mfw last 2 months left in college; back to step 0 - trying to explore other problems to solve
