CTO & Cofounder — Y Combinator S21
Building the future of team collaboration — an AI-powered platform used by thousands of teams worldwide.
The Story
DailyBot was born from a simple observation: distributed teams need better tools for asynchronous communication. What started as a solution to run automated standups evolved into a comprehensive platform that helps teams stay connected, aligned, and productive regardless of time zones or work schedules.
Since its inception, the platform has grown to serve thousands of teams across the globe, integrating seamlessly with the tools they already use — Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, and Discord.

Y Combinator Journey
In 2021, DailyBot was selected for Y Combinator's Summer batch (S21). Being part of YC was a transformative experience — it accelerated our growth, sharpened our focus on product-market fit, and connected us with an incredible network of founders, mentors, and investors.
The YC experience taught us to move fast, talk to users obsessively, and build what matters. It validated our vision and gave us the resources and confidence to scale globally.
