Anyway, I started to building it with a friend, both of us are part of this community and we do think this would be really useful.

However, we do think we need to invest some money on marketing, before launching (to attract people to answer our surveys with their feedback), and after launching (if not the marketplace will be empty).

Are out there investors that invset money only to be used in marketing for new startups, in exchange of %? We don't want $ for salaries, or for other type of expenses (servers, etc).

Are you building a startup? That’s my jam—I LOVE startups. I built (and sold) my first one not too long ago, and let me tell you: the part I absolutely hated was the back-office busywork.

You know the drill: bookkeeping, spreadsheets, receipts...Ugh. I didn’t start a company to watch QuickBooks load—I started it because I had a mission and a passion.

So here’s the twist: this time around, I built a whole new startup dedicated to bookkeeping. Why? Because founders like you and me shouldn’t waste another second on all that administrative nonsense. Focus on building product, closing deals, and making waves—we’ll handle the rest.

Seriously. Let’s get you back to doing what you love (and crush it). Leave the spreadsheets to us.

When LLMs came about, I thought we could finally bring imagination into reality - a physical embodiment that may even be helpful to children’s growth.

I made Amy as a fun side project.

Some things that I thought were important:

- Conversations and data had to stay local and private. They shouldn’t go to an API somewhere, and I shouldn’t have to pay more to talk to Amy more

- Amy should be cheap. A chip like Nvidia’s Jetson Orin Nano costs ~$250 alone, so this in particular was tricky

- Amy doesn’t and shouldn’t need to be everywhere - on your phone, tablet, etc. There’s beauty in a simple physical embodiment
