About

Hey, everyone. My name is Tom Ideaxton, but my real name is Dmytro Bakhmetyev. I am from Ukraine and I am building a company in the US. All my life I dreamed of becoming an actor and a Hollywood star. However, when I grew up, I dreamed of becoming a Silicon Valley star. Currently, I am working on the following projects: AI fitness trainer, horror streaming platform, AI CRM system for realtors, platform for storing receipts and analyzing expenses for freelancers and small businesses. I work alone, without a team and budget. I build apps using Lovable, Supabase, Make.com, ChatGPT, Claude, FlutterFlow, WordPress, and Webflow. It's very difficult without a team, but there is no other way. I need to move toward achieving my goals no matter what.

The "Who Even Needs This?" Monster

Hey

Let's talk about that uninvited guest that shows up around month 3 of building your startup. You know the one. You started with fire in your belly, convinced you're building the next big thing. Then slowly, quietly, it creeps in:

"Who even needs this?"

Are startup accelerators still worth it in 2025?

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.

YC founders, would you trust AI to handle 90% of your support chats?

me and my co-founder are building an AI agent because at our last startup we just couldn t keep up with support.

we tried every chatbot out there. they all felt robotic. customers hated it.

hiring more people was too slow + too $$$

so we put together this ai chatbot (think intercom fin but deeper) that trains on your old tickets, learns your tone, doesn t hallucinate, and can actually answer stuff like a real support rep.
