Recently I’ve been really feeling the cliche that claims “The road to heaven feels like hell, and the road to hell feels like heaven.” I’ve been super stressed and busy working my job, full time student, working at my startup, and also training for another marathon. No excuses.
Everyone cheers for you when you first set off for a goal, and then you actually show progress and start doing the work ... then everyone gets silent because deep down they are jealous and envious that you are actually doing what you said. Happens time after time.
What are you guys listening to when working and building? Me and my co-founders are house heads. Todays listen was Adam Ten’s Burning Man Set, bangers only, getting sh*t done.
Im paying about $400 a month in subscriptions right now, the platform I just launched is already helping me save money
I’m able to go into my analytics dashboard and see the tools everyone is and isn’t using, allowing me to cut costs and reallocate funds to upgrading tools we use most🎉🙏🏻
We just raised a $5.3M seed round for Orange Slice, co-led by 1984 Capital and Moxxie Ventures, with participation from angels like Paul Graham.
We’re building AI agents, inside a spreadsheet, that help sales teams find companies that already want to buy.
The reality is most sales teams don’t struggle with effort - they struggle with timing.
Reps spend huge amounts of time working static lists and broad targeting, chasing leads that were never going to convert. That creates noise, low reply rates, and wasted cycles.
Top companies like Ramp solve this with dedicated growth engineers building internal data workflows.
We’re making that same capability accessible to everyone else.
At its core, the challenge is simple: finding customers who already have the problem you solve.
Orange Slice turns the spreadsheet into a system for discovering buying signals - agents research company sites, news, social signals, and niche sources like court records or building permits, then structure that information directly into columns teams can act on.
Not “might be a fit.”
But “likely in-market.”
So instead of guessing who to target, teams build and refine living lists of high-intent accounts inside a sheet.
Still early. Still learning.
But we’re excited to keep building.
Kishan and I met sophomore year on a Bollywood dance team at Michigan — and I couldn’t ask for a better co-founder.
Grateful to our team, customers, and investors for believing in this vision.
You claim to be working all day, but you have nothing to show for it. Log your work on @grevapp. I use this for my team to see what they are doing on a day to day basis without me having to micro-manage. I also use it for myself to see my progress and all the work I'm putting in.
Sneak peek into Grev team analytics.
Two enterprise customers landed last week.
Two feature requests.
Shipped in one day.
Execution speed > roadmaps.
This is what locked-in teams look like.
onboarded a team of 7 onto @grevapp this week
they're a marketing agency, and needed visibility into what everyone was actually doing throughout the day
our tool will add a new layer of context to their company, allowing for growth in areas they didn't know existed.
If you’re doing it for the money ur cooked man…money will come and money will go…
Leave a genuine positive impact on the user.
That is the only thing that matters.
