In an online landscape crowded with anonymous AI startups, building in public as an authentic founder is your greatest competitive moat.
Customers prefer buying from founders whose transparency, values, and engineering journey they follow and trust.
Founder-led short videos allow you to share your technical milestones, product roadmap, and business lessons directly with your ideal customers.
