My Story Why I m Building StarCy

I ve been a builder my whole life. As a kid, I used to sell massages to my parents for money and break apart my toys to build something new. I wasn t great at school, but every teacher said the same thing: If you focus, you ll be the best.

At 13, my parents divorced, and at 15, I lost my father to cancer the toughest moment of my life. I was completely lost. But then, I found God in books, started reading obsessively, and began meditating daily. That changed everything.

I recently started an AI startup focused on creating an assistant that feels more like a friend than just a tool. We're not aiming to replace human connections but to offer a personal, emotionally aware companion. We put up a waitlist, and in no time, 100 people signed up. I'm wondering does this validate our idea, or is it just curiosity? For those who have been in similar spaces or have thoughts on what drives people to join early, I'd love to hear your take.
