118.75 km around Singapore 🇸🇬🚴
Accidentally ended up on an expressway 😂 Had to call 999 and get escorted off by the police. Definitely wasn’t on my cycling bingo card lol
The officers were super nice and polite.
Really love this country. So clean, organized, and beautiful

I just realized I’m officially old in startup years. a16z and YC are chasing founders born in the 2000s and even 2005, while I’m still a ’95 kid. 💀🤣

One of my biggest lessons as a founder: Charge early.
Free users give you feedback. Paying users validate real demand.
I used to be afraid of charging too much.
Then we raised our prices at AdmitPlus, and the results were better than expected.
Don't let fear dictate your pricing.

What’s your most unexpected customer acquisition channel?
🤫 If you come across my profile on Tinder, don’t be surprised. I’ve actually found customers there.

Halfway through @AntlerGlobal residency.
The calendar says it all 😂
A week's worth of work in a day.
2–3 hours of sleep some nights.
Constantly rethinking our product, strategy, storytelling & GTM.
Building a startup is intense.
But we're just getting started. 🚀
Stay tuned. 👀

Attended Google Cloud Offsite and OpenAI Functional Session over the past two days.
Great updates. Great tools. Great support for startups.
But as a founder, let's be real:
Great tools are nice. Free credits are nicer. 😂
Big thanks to @googlecloud and @OpenAI for the credits! 🙌
@awscloud @Azure @AnthropicAI — your move. 👀

Looking back, I was doing startup theater.
Too much pitching, networking, and talking about big visions.
Not enough focus on real problems.
My biggest lesson:
One user. One problem. One starting point.
Dream big. Start narrow.

Meet @meet_hao , founder of @admitplus_ai AI, pitching at Foundry Day on September 23.
AdmitPlus AI personalizes learning with multimodal AI agents at global scale.
Foundry Day is our virtual showcase closing out Startup Foundry's inaugural cohort, where our founders present to a curated room of investors and operators.
Investors and partners who want to meet exceptional early-stage founders early, request an invitation here: luma.com/w6w3hycp
How small can a team get today?
We're working on a new version, and I've been coding, doing PM work, and handling GTM—all with AI helping me along.
Now apparently I'm a designer too?
If you were building a product from scratch today, how many people would you need?

Introducing Cohort 1 of Startup Foundry 🚀
26 companies. 38 founders. 8 countries.
Building across AI, healthcare, fintech, security,
and productivity.
Can AI improve performance while hurting learning?
I recently read "Generative AI Without Guardrails Can Harm Learning," a study of nearly 1,000 students:
• Standard GPT: +48% during practice
• Guided GPT Tutor: +127%
But without AI, the standard GPT group scored 17% below the control group. The Tutor group matched it.
Performance ≠ learning.
This reinforces our work on a more adaptive, multimodal Learning Agent—one that identifies misconceptions and knows when to ask, hint, explain, or step back.
More to come.
We' re also looking for a Learning Scientist to invent and rigorously measure new ways of teaching with agentic AI.
Interested? Let's connect.

For most of my life, I’ve been a student across different countries.
That experience taught me how deeply a great education—and a great teacher—can shape someone’s life.
Today, I’m building AdmitPlus to give every student something once available only to a few: personalized, one-to-one learning guidance.
See how it works 👇
