Introducing my building an AI-native funeral company in public series. Our generation does everything online and we care about experiences. But the one experience we’re all going to have? Still feels like a 100 years out of date. Cringe. The US has over 15,000 funeral homes. About 80% are family owned. Rising costs, staffing shortages, retiring owners. The people running these businesses are BURIED in admin while serving people in the toughest moments in our lives. So where the hell does AI come in? • Give owners one place to manage cases, staff, suppliers, and payments • Help small teams serve more families by automating routine work • Reach new customers through digital marketing and online booking • Let families customize, plan and pay for a funeral online • Expand the offering with pre-need plans, customized ceremonies and aftercare Big-company infrastructure for small funeral homes. Can we pull it off? The end goal: a personalized goodbye without the luxury price tag all over US. Let's see!

EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai (akai.run) Deel added >$140M ARR in 90 days without increasing headcount by automating~600 Full Time Employees' equivalent in work with Akai. Akai was an internal tool to automate our painfully repetitive operations in Finance, HR, Accounts Payable, and Compliance, etc. We never intended to make this a product. But we watched revenue per employee grow from $130K to $215K We built >8k agents that do the work of ~600 employees It had such a dramatic impact on our business that today we are launching it for everyone. How it works: Say you're automating payment reconciliation: 1. Record your screen while manually matching a messy transaction and Akai will capture your screen, voice, server requests 2. Akai will see that you pulled unformatted wire transfer info from an archaic bank portal, put it in some excel sheet, checked NetSuite invoices, payment history, and put a ticket on Zendesk 3. Akai reads between the lines and build a workflow + steps + conditional guardrails. It learns tacit edge cases, like resolving malformed invoice references without you writing a single regex 4. Simply connect NetSuite, your ledger, Zendesk, PSPs, and even legacy bank portals with zero API access 5. Run the workflow and tell it what to adjust in plain English: "strip slashes on wire memos and auto-apply partial payments." It adapts instantly 6. Once it works for you, add 100s of colleagues. Your entire payment ops team forks and extends the workflow for new PSPs, secondary ledgers, or regional settlement rules 7. We automated 85% of our payment reconciliation end to end, eliminating 500+ hours of soul-crushing manual grunt work every single week. Claude Code/Codex can't do this in multiplayer mode. Every person rebuilds the same skill from scratch in their own way. Deel built Akai to: 1. Understand backend operations edge cases (it had to work for our 7000 person team first) 2. Collaborative across 1000s of employees 3. Self-Learning from millions of runs 4. Optimises cost and gets cheaper every run We're so confident that we're announcing an Automation Guarantee: If our engineers can't automate a thousand of hours of work in your first 30 days, you get a full refund. Book a demo: akai.run if you're an exec at a company with hundreds of employees

Day 1 - Zero to MVP launch Building an idea I'm passionate about I'll be sharing every win and failure until we hit our first paying user. Let's build! 🚀

3 months ago, I sold my 1st company, Skio, for $105M cash. Now my 2nd company, Icon, just raised $30M to launch something the world has never seen. For $1000, we make 6 human creator ads (no AI, 100% real). We find creators, ship products, write scripts, & edit videos. It's risk-free: - Full refund if you don't love your ads. - You don't pay until you review 6 scripts. - Unlimited human revisions. Today, Icon introduces the world's first Agency. We're not building a normal agency: - We bought a $12M domain. - We're backed by Founders Fund and OpenAI + Google DeepMind leaders. It’s impossible to hire a creative team like ours for even $30K/mo: - Creative Directors who've worked with $100M brands (IM8, Obvi, Ridge). They update our format library daily based on winning ads (street interviews, skits, & 20+ more). - 12+ scriptwriters with $80M in Meta adspend. - 200+ in-house editors who've edited 100K ads. One more thing... We're giving away our internal Google Drive with 1000 winning ads that have driven $100M+ in revenue. You can make $100K copying these ads if you know what you're doing. Want the Google Drive? 1. Retweet this post. 2. Comment "icon". 3. DM me this post’s link & I'll DM you back with the Google Drive. [Bonus] Get 3 free human creator ads if you do the above and we end up working together.
