I almost shut it down in month 3.
Nothing was working.
I’d spent weeks scraping post data from top creators.
Reverse engineering frameworks.
Testing UX flows that fell flat.
Writing code at 2AM.
It felt like I was building in the dark, whispering into a void.
But there was this one night, I remember it clearly,
I was sitting alone, surrounded by coffee cups and failed UI drafts, when I told myself:
"You either build the tool creators actually need or walk away."
So I doubled down.
→ Analyzed 100,000+ viral posts
→ Collected data from thousands of creators
→ Rebuilt the engine to make every output feel human, not generic
And we finally launched something that felt right.
Last week, we hit our first real milestone:
400+ creators now using Depost AI
That number might seem small.
But for me, it means:
• Months of doubt didn’t win
• Every late night mattered
• That one decision changed everything
We’re still early.
But now there’s momentum.
Belief.
Feedback.
Usage.
And the best part?
Creators are telling us: “It finally sounds like me.”
We’re building more than a tool.
We’re building a new way to show up online.
Without sounding like everyone else.
This is just the beginning.
Let’s keep building.
P.S. What’s one moment you almost quit… but didn’t?
I’d love to hear yours.
