We're accidentally creating a generation of salespeople who can't sell
I've been watching this weird trend in B2B sales, and it's honestly keeping me up at night. Everyone's rushing to implement AI sales tools (rightfully so - the efficiency gains are insane), but we might be accidentally breaking the entire profession. Here's the problem: Traditional sales was like learning piano - you start with simple scales, work through basic songs, then eventually tackle...
We found our best client channel (and it’s not what we expected)
In the last 6 months, over 500+ clients have started using Pleep. We’ve tested a bunch of ways to get here: Social media gave us reach — one LinkedIn post hit ~3,500 impressions — but conversions were tiny (2–3 trials at best). Investor intros opened doors — 12 warm leads, 3 serious pilots, 1 paying customer — but it’s slow. Conferences were the most fun — in Shanghai I even met Angry Birds’...
Launching soon: Pleep – Build your AI sales rep in 5 minutes

The idea is simple: you describe your business, answer a few questions, and our system creates a working AI sales rep that handles inquiries, qualifies leads, and books meetings across your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram. You can then correct its behavior in real-time and monitor all conversations from one...
🎯 Stop obsessing over “teen founders” — from 18 y.o. founder
People love to obsess over age. Every time a teenager ships something, the headline is: “Look, they’re only 17!” It’s become a whole genre of founder story. But honestly — it’s the least interesting part. Here’s why: 1. Users don’t care. When a business owner signs up for Pleep, they don’t ask if I’m 17 or 47. They just want more demos booked and revenue closed. If you solve a real problem,...
What’s the smallest feature you ever shipped that had the biggest impact?
Have you ever noticed that most of the product updates we talk about are huge — new dashboards, AI integrations, or even entire redesigns? But after helping 500+ businesses, we figured out that sometimes the feature that took 2 hours to build outperforms the one that took 2 days: A single “Save & Continue” button that stopped users from dropping off halfway through; An auto-reply message that...
🎂 Built a 500‑customer B2B SaaS before I turned 18 – AMA
At 15 I trained my first machine‑learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company. At 16 I launched my first startup… and promptly ran it into the ground. I learned more from that failure. At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales‑rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full‑time. Why bother?...
