The founder, not the deal.
The deck lies. The founder's story doesn't. Pedro — your fund already has the deck. We're asking you to evaluate the human behind it.

Co-founder & CEO
60-second bioRecorded · Apr 2026
Game engine engineer turned creator-tools founder. Believes the next billion creators will speak code into existence, not type it.
Why this
Roblox + Figma + ChatGPT is the combinatorial frontier. Voice is the keyboard of the next decade for non-coders.
Why now
Multimodal LLM latency dropped below the conversational threshold (~400ms) in Q1 2026. The UX is finally possible.
Why them
We shipped a 3D engine before LLMs were useful. We're not bolting AI onto a toy — we're rebuilding the toy around AI.
The midnight question
"What would you build if no one funded you?"
I'd be modding Unreal at 2am. I have been since I was 14.
Vani Kola's signal. The founders who are compelled to build don't burn out at month 14. The ones who are running from something do.
Prior scars
- ◆Previous studio shipped a creator tool that hit 50k DAU and stalled — distribution was the killer, not product. This time platform-first.
Resilience markers. We log scars not to kill the deal but to know which fault lines re-open under pressure.
