🎂 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? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue.
We focused on building a real rep that:

  • Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.

  • Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.

  • Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.

We bootstrapped all in one ai platform without ads to 200k users in two years. AMA

Hey,
Artem here. I left Meta in Apr 2024 to fully dive into realm of GenAI. I knew back then that with the pace of development the distribution wins, not the product. So I spent a year cracking SEO and wasting tens of thousands on ads so you don't have to. Happy to share my learnings and answer your questions.
Some stats. As of now our app has over 200k registered users with up to 700 joining daily.
Before AI summaries we've reached 200k monthly visits on the website.
And then crashed hard in the past few weeks.
We also iterated on product like crazy and learned a ton.
Ask away!
