The convergence of these trends is alarming. With up to 25% of teens and young adults reporting frequent loneliness, and growing numbers finding AI as emotionally fulfilling as friends, I worry we’re normalizing a world where people "settle" for artificial relationships. When digital comfort replaces real support, the risk is not just feeling alone, but actually being alone. Recent research...

I think it's worth remembering that we are our own worst judges. It's good to ask ourselves a question: "What am I afraid of"? That I am not good enough: then practice That they will judge me: even if they will, people mostly care about themselves, they will forget rather quickly Most important is to remember to have fun and enjoy the process.
How do you handle fear from public speaking when pitching the product or giving a presentation?

Yes! Yes! and yes! I would 1000% invest in Figma. I will add one more question as I can’t help but wonder… did regulators accidentally do Figma the biggest favour ever? Last year, Adobe’s acquisition of Figma was blocked over competition concerns. At the time, it felt like a blow. But now? With AI reshaping design faster than ever, maybe staying independent was the best thing that could’ve...

What about registration? I can see that some users download the app but are not registering. I spoke with few of them and they said that when they see the request to registered they feel thrown away. What's your take on it?
I review hundreds of products daily and try to demo as many as I can - what do you want to learn?

I was exploring using collaborations with influencers/ bigger accounts in Instagram… it ended up with numer of followers increasing for the accounts I was collaborating with but not TrueMe. My understanding is that it’s easier to build reports with influencer then a brand account. However, I never tried paid collaboration with an influencer.
How successful were you when you used influencer marketing for promoting your business or product?

The product vision didn't pivoted per say but it took us a while to define what is the problem we are solving. We started with mental health, but it was too generic, depression but it didn't sound very urgent, authenticity ... no one wakes up in the morning and decided "today I will become my authenticity self". Finally after over 6 months of back and forth we defined the problem that people...
Have you ever pivoted your business / idea? 💡

I wouldn't wait that long to remove from the team people who didn't share company values and weren't putting the work in. I lost over a month of development time because I was hoping "he will deliver", and I waited to long with ending a partnership with a co-fonder who wasn't putting the work in.

Struggling with finding the right narrative for my product
I want to ask for your help. For over a year now I've been building TrueMe, early adopters love it (4.5/5 satisfaction score), have 4500 registered Beta Testers but I feel like I am still dancing around with a clear punchy definition of the product. I am building a solution to loneliness. We can observe a trend how people are using Gen AI mostly for therapy and companionship but Replica AI/...

Hi, I'm Aleks and I would love to meeting fellow founders
There is a theory which says that in order to build a long lasting relationship the parties need to have a similar level of self awareness and similar level of generative drive. My life showed me that this is rather to be the case, and sometimes it's not easy to find them (this is also why I am building TrueMe). I though I will introduce myself and find out if there are any tech geeks who are...

Hi Karl, I feel your pain... I am also building a social impact and "If everyone who declared their support went through with their promises, we’d be already planting" hit me hard as if everyone who declared their support went through my app would be in a different place. But, what I learn is that it's all about resilience. Don't give up just yet. And if you want to have a chat about struggles...
