we’re building an AI assistant that helps you handle digital tasks through natural conversation (think “Siri, but actually useful”).
Earlier this year, I decided to start posting daily on X (Twitter). I wasn’t trying to “grow” I just shared our small wins, mistakes, and behind-the-scenes stuff about building StarCy.
Over 6 months, those posts got 14 million+ impressions, and here’s the crazy part:
- It brought in our first investor (they DM’d me after a thread blew up).
- Helped me find my team literally everyone on the team came from X.
- Brought our first 500 ppl before we even launched publicly in the waitlist. Now we launch on Nov 1st.
The biggest unlock?
Authenticity > polish. The post that blew up wasn’t a fancy thread, it was a photo of me coding at 2 AM with the caption: “Building something that doesn’t exist yet.”
If you’re building something, don’t underestimate the power of showing up online. You never know who’s watching.
I Got 14M impressions on X, it changed everything for my startup

This is a great example of how sharing the real journey matters more than being perfect. People connect with honesty and progress, not polished marketing. Really inspiring to see how being consistent and authentic actually opened real opportunities for you.
