After 15 months of ruthless execution, we hit #1 on the App Store. Couldn't be more proud to finally say it: AI can fix our love lives. It took us 603 user interviews, 3 entire redesigns of the app, 246 builds pushed on the App Store, 57 rejections by Apple for stupid reasons,

Today I'm turning 32, but more importantly, I'm celebrating 1 year of being a founder: - 1 app shipped and dozens of iterations done (almost there!) - 1 incredible team built in Paris - 2 rounds of fundraising - millions of mistakes made They say a picture is worth a thousand

I’m thinking about creating a Whatsapp group with only consumer founders so that we can freely share how much we want to die everyday, tell the truth about our single digit D30 retention, our core loops that don’t loop, and our viral TikToks with 204 views. Who wants in?

Every time I read a post from a VC talking about all the obvious mistakes founders make, it reminds me of my ex when he was watching a football game on TV, yelling at Ronaldo, while sitting on the couch.

My dream VC - uncapped SAFE, <5% ownership, no pro-rata - never asks "what's your moat?" - reads your investors updates - responds to your investors updates - no random intros to pretend they're adding value - organizes Ayahuasca retreats - tweets about your company

If I were an early stage VC, instead of asking “how can I help” or organizing useless dinners, I would build a small team of 1 backend, 1 front end, 1 designer and 1 PM, and I would send them run execution sprints with my portcos.
