On Friday I took my first salary as a founder.
Paid by revenue. Not investment.
My first one ever. So proud.
Most startups die before they make $1.
We ve been making revenue for 8 months.
Even after pivoting from @Dolphin AI.
I don t take this lightly.
But it isn t about money. It s about the milestone.
The fact that something didn t exist and now it does.
Something people want.
Are happy to pay for.
And happy to be part of.
@Pretty Prompt keeps surprising me week after week.

And it all started here on PH .
If I could talk to my 2023 self, I d say: "Just keep pushing".
Doesn t matter if you don t come from a CS degree, or didn t go to an Ivy League.

What matters is your ability to adapt, and move fast.
This is proof. And I m super proud.
I took my wife out for dinner.
If I was motivated before
Wait for what we ll do next with Charlie, my co-founder!
Here s to the next Pretty milestone.
And building things people want.

We've been building Naoma for over a year. Pivoted from a sales analytics platform, rewrote the product from scratch, ran pilots, iterated, broke things, fixed them.

Tomorrow we launch on Product Hunt.

The idea is simple: B2B buyers shouldn't have to wait 5 days to see your product. Naoma runs a live AI demo the moment they click qualifies them, walks through the product, routes the right leads to sales or checkout. No scheduling. No waiting.

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
