Yesterday, my startup faced its biggest challenge, hinting at rocky roads ahead.
But it turned into our best day, all thanks to
@ycombinator
.
Dive into our David vs Goliath story featuring
@ycombinator
,
@naval
, and Daniel Ek (Spotify). 🚀

If you’re thinking about applying to
@ycombinator
, we just finished the S22 batch and when we applied we had:
1. No product
2. Not even a landing page
3. An exciting new idea and a passionate team
Don’t overthink it!
Comment if you want me to have a look at the app :)

The big takeaway?
Spotify's splash means a market titan validated what we're mastering.
While Goliath sets the stage, we're spotlight-ready, primed to deliver globally. 🌍🚀

Monday comes, team is hyped!
We launch and things are 🔥... For 2 hours… And then:
Spotify announces the same product, the same day as us. 😧
Podcasters - what if I told you could offer your pod to any listener around the world, in their own local language but still keep it in your own voice? That’s the pilot we’re launching
@Spotify

It’s called Voice Translation and using AI, translates podcasts episodes into

Some context before going further.
At
@Wondercraft
, we leverage genAI (text-to-speech) to innovate in the podcast space. 🎙️
Our first offering—a platform where you craft a podcast by typing—launched 5 months ago with success.
But we are hungry. So we didn't stop there.

At this point I should say that I’ve spent enough time listening to Daniel Ek to appreciate the fact that he is not a villainous Goliath.
But in Podcasting, Spotify is the Goliath. Definitely not a villain, but a Goliath with a strong stomp nonetheless.🌍🔊

So we decided to build out a new product, around the same tech.
Our new app? An “AI Podcast Translation” platform.
Upload your video, select a language, and get a speaker-aligned, voice-intonation-preserved dub. 🔀🌐

As an experienced startup person, I can see a pattern emerging here. It has some important implications for the future of NFTs.
