I spent 3 years with Subhash Ramesh. He's the most earnest and hardworking person I know, yet flies under the radar because he's so humble. He has a habit of making something incredibly technically difficult, and jamming it into a silly product that pays his rent. Like Galiboo, an AI music tagger he made in college that he licensed to a record company for $15,000/month. It's his character that takes him far though.He started working on a startup 2 months ago, and closed a pre-revenue angel check for $20k in 20 minutes. He hasn't had to pay for office space in 3 years because people want him around so much. He calls his mom every day, and drives his friends home every night. In a city where everyone's so obsessed with themselves and "making it", @subby_tech is the kind of guy who brings everyone up with him. It makes people want to do everything they can to help him win. I wrote about why him being a great guy is an early signal of being a great founder for @sfalexandria_. sfalexandria.com/posts/subby…

overwhelmed by the response to this. thank you all 🫶 wrote an update, but in case you can't read my handwriting: TLDR: Order a shirt for $50 at shop.sfalexandria.com "Hi. This is Aadil. I’m writing this in some corporate swag notebook from a cafe in New York right now. Hope it still gets the msg across. I made the initial shirts for $100. Stupid, I know, but I just wanted something fast to show off that I would love wearing. The blank was $30, embroidery was $50 (criminal! but I get it, I tried using a machine at home and it sucks), and rush fee was $20. But if a bunch of people order, I can halve all those costs and nix the rush fee so it’ll cost $40 + $10 shipped. If not, I’ll refund, but I make no profit. I just think it’s cool, and see how much I/others resonate w this msg."
