Wylo
I'll try to keep it short and simple :) We are building Wylo.
A few years ago, we were busy building a community-based social network and even grew it up to 100k+ members. When we looked around, creators and brands wanted to build their own online communities as well - kinda very similar to what we were building. But none of the platforms were neither comprehensive nor customizable.
As we tried to understand the space more, it got more existing, and after a point, it felt so right. We were like - let's build the community platform ourselves but for everyone. So brands, creators, and coaches can run their own powerful communities with ease and make a difference for themselves. That was our inspiration :)

In short, the problem. I used to work in a company where if I made one mistake, my week of work was wasted. After a while, I decided to create a company and create a product that solves my problem and I modernized the product.

LangWatch
I created an AI tool for sommeliers (still in use) but had difficulties understanding how users were using it and solving hallucinations. That’s why we are building LangWatch.

When I used dating apps I had to create a filter of the 100s of matches. When my female and male friends used the same filter their success rates for good quality matches became higher.
Allow everyone to have more motivation and productivity while achieving their goals in a more gamified way.
As the owner of a few e-commerce stores, I was surprised at how inconvenient some of the top Shopify apps can be. For super simple problems they are offering super complex solutions. That's why at WISS one of the main focuses is user experience

Next AI OS and hardware
To be real with you, my inspiration was a bit of a combo deal: I drew from my own experiences and spotted this big gap just waiting to be filled in the market. Nobody seemed to be offering what people really needed, so I figured, why not jump in and make it happen?
BodySherpa
Honestly just to prove to myself I could do it. Am an analyst so had a bunch of models and tools, had the initial thought — I wonder if I could package these together into something usable?
Then had to march (not delve, march!) through various layers of inexperience… backend, frontend, devops, marketing/seo.
Maybe not the best for finding PMF, but definitely empowering.
Having been involved in soccer both as a fan and a player for years, I've seen many challenges team managers and owners have to overcome for teams and players development and success.
So I decided to develop an app that aims to make team management easier. Steerer helps with time and players management, allows soccer enthusiasts to communicate and share knowledge and will open doors to potential sponsorships, helping teams to progress and grow faster! 💪
Whenever I have a question on personal care I have to check different platforms to find different products, opinions, tutorials, discussions, deals, and more. Something as simple as “how to reduce razor bumps will lead you down a rabbit hole of like 3 or 4 different sites. The goal of my social media platform is to create a singular platform where people can get their questions answered and find offers all in one place.
From 2018-2021, I was going through a tough time. Despite having what seemed like everything - a high paying job, an active social life, and close friends, internally, I was struggling. The loss of my dad, societal expectations from my girlfriend at the time and others opinions made me think terribly of myself, and an eventual personal breakup had left me feeling very lost with desires of un-aliving myself. I tried the traditional paths to healing, like therapy and medication, but I didn't resonate with it as much as it did for others.
After some reflection, I decided to explore new approaches to healing:
It was a combination of reading a ton of Eastern philosophy books (specifically classical yoga), meditation and core belief restructuring (stuff I learned in Psychology in College + Classical Yoga version of this (Samskaras), and increasing my attention skills.
These approaches helped me rebuild from the ground up, leading to significant personal growth and new abilities. This transformation inspired me to start MindTrainer with two friends (who I healed with! shout out @nic_ramirez21 ), aiming to support other men in finding fulfillment and contributing positively to the lives of those around them.
@nic_ramirez21 @rasha_clairity This sounds like a product a lot of people would need. Hope everything is good and hope the app takes off🚀. I will defenetly give it a try.
@nic_ramirez21 @davidpopescu66 Thanks David! We'll be posted tomorrow! We're super interested in your creative ad startup too :) Good luck
Pretty much how often I / small business owners I knew faced this problem. I'm talking about how difficult it is to create competitive ad creatives with no experince, no design team and no budget for creative / marketing agencies. I am here to change that! 🙌
With over 3 million custom GPTs in the OpenAi store, I realized that the ones I created (90+) would be lost in the sea of custom Bots. I knew I needed a way to market/promote them to get anyone to use them. So, I thought I would create a Craigslist-type directory, list them on it, and drive traffic. As I started looking for a directory listing website a lightbulb appeared over my head. What better way to showcase what I have created than with video....a video directory! When I started making it, I thought this would also be great for other creators to showcase their AI and Chatbot tools. This, in turn, means more traffic and another avenue for income.
