if youāre a male in San Francisco. > building consumer apps.> made at least $250K+.> never raised. we just leased a small office. not a coworking space, not a hangout. pressure cooker for builders. max 5 people. 2 spots left - dm if youāre in.

every time I talk to my high school friends, the convo is always about the past. no growth, no future. i canāt stand irrelevant chatter ā unless itās with a girl iām into. otherwise, iād rather be alone.

everything I know about virality came from launching this app 3 years ago. did 100+ user interviews, threw parties and learned how status drives behavior. girls suggested features I thought were dumb ā until I realized they understood status way better than I did

the gold rush to build dumb AI apps is over. 2024 was brain rot wrappers and easy money. in 2025, only āwtf is this?ā UI breaks through. most of you wonāt make it.
