Quick Catch-Up: Where we’re at now

You might want to grab a coffee for this one—there's a lot to cover.

My co-founder, Vedant, and I crossed paths in November 2023 during our freshman year at UCSD. We met at an entrepreneurship club event where we both ended up pitching the same idea to a mutual friend. With our combined leadership abilities, Vedant’s skills in marketing, and my knowledge of software and product development, we built the first version of our contract-making tool in a matter of months as a side project during school.

The real turning point in our story happened in February at a Starbucks, where we went to pitch our product to a real estate agent. To be honest, he tore it apart. It was a tough pill to swallow, but in the aftermath of what was a considerable blow, we found a much simpler, much cleaner idea.

Here’s where things got interesting. Vedant noticed that the realtor had a contact card on his phone when he walked in, suggesting he was reviewing client info just before our meeting. That observation sparked an idea—why not create a tool that summarizes contact information for realtors in a streamlined way? In some ways, this was our way of building a tool that could potentially redefine what the word CRM means to a realtor.

To validate our idea, Vedant and I participated in a Techstars Startup Weekend in April. Our pitch landed us in 2nd place (more info here), which gave us the confidence to move forward. Fueled by that win, we were able to launch a buggy prototype by the end of May. Despite the rough edges, this proof of concept resonated with a few realtors—they could see the vision we were working toward, and our philosophy of providing a clean, intuitive platform struck a chord with them.

Since then, we have had a team rebuilding and iterating on our prototype, refining it with each step. Now, we’re in the final stages of building the app more efficiently, and we’re gearing up for our official product launch in September.

We’re excited about what’s ahead, and we’re ready to see where this journey takes us. Stay tuned for more by subscribing to my blog!
