An absolutely gorgeous, sunny day to take Embark founders on a bike ride to Sausalito and back. Good way to celebrate the end of an intense Week 1. #AntlerEmbark

A legendary week ended with a legendary bike ride to Sausalito 🚴🏻

Thanks @Rahul_J_Mathur Cautio has already monitored more than 3 million trips - and it’s a matter of time before they’ll be saving HUNDREDS of lives every week. @theankitacharya is a force of nature, and their command center is a special place to be.

NEW: Naptick is currently #2 on Product Hunt. It's a bedside AI sleep companion built to help you fall asleep before the doomscrolling starts. • sees circadian light therapy to guide your body into sleep • plays 1,000+ adaptive soundscapes for wind-down • tracks room conditions like CO₂, humidity, temperature, light, and noise • includes an AI sleep coach for routines, journaling, and calming support • built phone-free with app-locking to keep you off screens at night Most sleep tech tells you how badly you slept. Naptick is trying to fix the part before sleep.

doing this on the 23rd! my stack is ai agents and infra i built, named after days and months - saturday, november, thursday, wednesday, december like @mtrajan says about "chokepoints" - that's exactly what these are: infra we own that solves pieces no one cares about yet (they should) all of it powers @october_ai showing the whole stack live. RSVP below!

Trying something new this Sunday. Hosting The Garage /Vol. 01 - a co-working day for 30 of the sharpest founders making their next move in consumer AI. Come spend the day building alongside each other. We'll break midway to share what everyone’s working on and trade feedback = from other builders, and a VC lens too if you want it. If you’re tinkering, raising your first round or on a notice period - come. This is IRL in Bangalore. Link to the event below:

"So many amazing founders get really undervalued because they are in the wrong market" - @nitinsharma1 At Embark 3, we are bridging the gap for immigrant founders building for the US through visibility, access, and impact. On Day 3, each of our 20+ founders got dedicated 1:1 time with the Antler team for an unfiltered and honest conversation about what it takes to win in the US market. See you on Day 4. 👀 @nitinsharma1 @jasnoorgill @GowriShankarNag @telljeeves @rschoo @NicolasSamDuval @nikhilkr97 @sanjil @experientia @ashishpiplani @AntlerGlobal

Moving beyond the wrapper. 🎹🐍 ​Building Auvia—B2B audio infrastructure for high-fidelity vocal resynthesis. ​Most GenAI music platforms suffer from "AI Thinness"—that robotic, metallic texture that fails the enterprise test. I'm building the fix at the signal layer. ​The Update: ✅ Just deployed the V1 Core of the Auvia Engine. ✅ Built with FastAPI + Librosa for low-latency processing. ✅ Moved beyond simple filters to Spectral Shaping via STFT (Short-Time Fourier Transform). ✅ Re-injecting harmonic warmth into synthetic vocals to make them sound human. ​We aren't just calling an API; we are architecting the engine. ​ ​Live API is now being stress-tested. If you’re an AI dev or a gaming studio, my DMs are open for early access. ​#BuildInPublic #AI #MusicTech #Python #FastAPI #Auvia #Antler #GoogleForStartups

If Day 1 of Embark 3 was about mindset, Day 2 was a masterclass on execution to win in the US GTM. We had an incredible diaspora of founders & builder speakers: → @GanatraSoham, Founder and CEO of Composio → @kamath_sutra, Co-Founder and CEO of smallest.ai → @kunalbhatia91, Co-Founder of Hexo Labs → @ritwikpavan, Chief Business Officer at Fragile → @mtrajan, Co-Founder of Upekkha Whether it was @GanatraSoham on winning developers first and letting them pull the organisation in, @kamath_sutra on bridging the gap between voice AI and Turing test-passing systems, or @ritwikpavan on "Netflix for hardware" — the room was packed with insight. Moving on to Day 3 🚀

@pratiksharda2 @GowriShankarNag @raghavgoyal97 @nitinsharma1 @jasnoorgill A lot more to come! LFG!

Loved the unfiltered conversations with founders who’ve been through the transition. Still processing and ingesting all the insights. @raghavgoyal97 @nitinsharma1 @GowriShankarNag @jasnoorgill @AntlerIndia

Automate your business & life like a pro. We're sitting down with Harsh: a 3x founder who built products with 1M+ users as a solo founder, using AI agents for almost everything. Even his TikTok channels run on autopilot. 📅 23rd May | 8:30 – 9:30 PM 👇luma.com/m5cv45rp

Real unfiltered takes by @kamath_sutra & @kunalbhatia91 at @AntlerIndia Grounding in SF is so important every once in a while.

some notes from @gilbenartzy talk 📝 > for immigrant co-founders who are thinking of building from the Bay Area, there are typically 3 setups: both in SF (no home market edge - including hiring), both at home (no SF edge), or one in each. split = best of both worlds > when's the right time to come to the US? if it's 11am rn, find the next flight > founders fall back to building when distribution and gtm get hard. it's the comfort zone > portfolios that raised $1M many times outperform $5M raises. the right amount at the right time is a superpower > immigrant founder edge: you're not the typical stanford/yc bio, so you're new dealflow for vcs. you don't already have 20 funds in your dms > $100k is enough to get started and move to the US. money isn't the blocker @AntlerIndia @raghavgoyal97 @nitinsharma1 @GowriShankarNag @jasnoorgill

Some of the most ambitious immigrant founders in the world are in San Francisco this week. 🇺🇸 Yesterday was Day 1 of Embark 3, and it was a blockbuster! → 8 world-class speakers, including @GilBenArtzy from @upwestvc, backer of generational companies in the Israel-US corridor: @SentinelOne, @HoneyBook, & @Stampli and more → 20+ founders from India, Australia, SEA, MENA & Korea → Sessions on the mindset shift required to win in the US market and hyperscaling in the AI era. And this is just Day 1 of many. Stay tuned. 👀 @nitinsharma1 @jasnoorgill @GowriShankarNag @telljeeves @rschoo @NicolasSamDuval @nikhilkr97 @sanjil @experientia @ashishpiplani @AntlerGlobal

These boys are cooking fr, super excited to see Tara (your AI cooking companion) take shape.
