Did you know it only took 11 days for Halo AI to close a $6M seed round? In this fireside chat, I chat with Rami Saad, Co-Founder of Halo AI and former Snapchat executive, to discuss his journey from a "coincidental entrepreneur" to disrupting the creator economy.

Rami breaks down exactly how they identified an "investable" idea versus just a feasible one, and the counter-intuitive strategy of raising money when you don't need it. We dive deep into their major pivot, why building the "Uber of the Creator Economy" (fully autonomous AI) failed, and how shifting to a "Human-in-the-Loop" model unlocked their success. We also cover the strategic decision to stay in Stealth Mode to manage hype, and why a Middle Eastern startup decided to expand into New York so early in their journey.

If you are a founder trying to navigate the VC landscape, figure out product-market fit, or understand how to build AI agents that actually solve problems, this conversation is for you.

🚀 Key Takeaways in this Episode:

The "Investable" Framework: How Rami and his co-founders filtered 12 different ideas to find the one that was feasible, impactful, and appealing to VCs.

The 11-Day Raise: The specific strategy of building runway first and raising second, allowing Halo AI to close $6M in under two weeks.

The AI Pivot: Why fully autonomous marketing failed (the "Uber" model) and how switching to AI Co-Pilots increased customer satisfaction despite lower efficiency numbers.

Stealth Mode vs. Public Building: Why Halo AI chose to stay hidden to control the narrative and create exclusivity for investors.

Global Ambition: How to determine when it’s time to expand your startup to the US market.
