PORTFOLIO / 2025
Kunal
Solo founder building simple AI systems for small businesses.
Previously scaled APIs to 0.6B requests/month at 99.99% reliability.
THESIS
AI adoption in small teams is underdone. The edge is practical automation—booking, follow-ups, day-to-day ops. Measure, iterate, compound. Clarity over cleverness. Results over hype.
