Some personal news: I’ve started a company. It’s called Pops, and I’m excited to share that it’s backed by YC and part of the P26 batch.

Pops is what I believe to be the future of entertainment: AI-native, playful, social experiences and games anyone can create, remix, and play with their friends. Short-form software.

Huge thanks to @Suhail for being an early believer and supporter, and thank you to @garrytan, @greybaker and the YC community for your incredible guidance, support and belief in me — I'm just getting started
