I’m pleased to announce that @AnswersAi_ai has been acquired and our Team SF is joining @quizlet
We started this journey 3 years ago as Juniors at Cal and UCLA as a hackathon project and built our way through Senior year, three offices and more. I’m proud of our team that got us 2M Users, 1M followers, 2 Billion views and $3.5M+ across our lifetime.
We’re grateful for our investors, supporters and team that took a bet on us, starting with my co founders.
Thank you to Kurt Beidler, Ismail Orujov and the entire Quizlet team for taking a bet on us. We continue our journey there alongside the incredible @satapathy_dev_ , @DanielBerezhnoy and @angeldzzz23
Always day one as we continue making a dent in the universe

last friday was my final day at Thrive.
witnessing the herculean effort that went into closing Thrive X was the way to finish. it resembled everything i love and admire about the place and its people.
so what's next...
i left to build any and all software for any and all businesses. an ~ai~ consulting company of sorts.
i've craved to run a service based business like this where i know my customers and they know me.
there's no amorphous corporate blob to deal with. clients deal with me.
now, with leverage from AI, they can get world class, personalized service from one guy at a reasonable rate.
i hope this model lets me build trust and goodwill between tech and the long tail of industries from Anthropic's survey. (important note: i will also work with startups and tech companies given my mandate is literally any business)
i've started with a used machine shop in Louisville, a wayfinding company in Cleveland, and a distributor of rags (literal towels not RAG...) in LA.
we'll see how it goes...
