Hey guys, I'm Joshua Voydik, CEO and co-founder of Hero Stuff ā the fastest way to sell anything online.
We use AI to scan, price, and list stuff for sale in seconds.
This time last year we had no product, no money... just ideas and relentless determination to build something meaningful & beautiful.
We saw how AI was radically transforming everything, and we realized that we could use it to help us with our own problems: to sell stuff. At the core of what we're building is the everyday consumer like you.
Everyone said consumer was dead, but I knew in my heart that consumer was ripe. I believed back then and even more firmly now that the real value in AI is at the application layer.
Maybe, just maybe, we could build an AI-first, mobile-first application that people would use (...and they are).
Since then we ended up raising some capital from amazing investors like @andreasklinger @benln @esthercrawford @cyantist & many others. Built our core product, which is live in the market and we're iterating fast. We're running constant growth experiments.
This is my first consumer app, my first CEO role. I've learned a ton:
- Velocity > Perfection
- Ship fast, Learn faster
- Leadership is about ownership
Startups are a constant battle w/ self-worth. High highs, low lows. but worth it. Just make art, build cool stuff, get the word out, & keep trying until it works.
AMA!
