About Me
Hi 👋
I'm Saleh and I like to build. For the last year I've been helping businesses integrate AI. I'm very outgoing and friendly and love meeting new people. I believe that using software should feel pleasant and that it's up to us builders to make delightful experiences. I also believe in positive sum games, the ability to trade paperclips, and working hard.
What I'm trying to do
Currently trying to build a company that makes $100M every year. It's a long and lonely road so looking for technical cofounders/founding engineers to build with.
The most important traits I'm looking for are
- Ambition
- Speed (you want to win TODAY not next week)
- Chip on shoulder
In my experience, that first one is by far the hardest to find. If this describes you, please reach out. I'll send you a cofounder doc about me, what I've done, and what specifically I'm building.
Typically the process is:
- Meet up irl, get to know each other
- Short hackathon where we build something and get users/money as fast as possible (1 day long)
- Longer, official work trial
- ...
- Become billionaires
If this remotely interests you, please reach out! Contact info below.
