From Kazakhstan to San Francisco!
A week before my flight, I had 2 US visa refusals and no idea how I'd make it.
Now, I flew 32 hours to join @jointhebridge and build a generational company in SF!
Dropped uni. Turned down a unicorn job offer. Failed 3 startups. Hit 1m+ downloads with one.
All that for one first step towards my goal.
Stay delusional. There's no other way

We failed in SF and only have 4 days here!
Time to introduce our team:
I’m Assylkhan, and this is my co-founder @evgenspm.
We’re both 20 yo founders from Kazakhstan who dropped everything to get to SF.
I grew my first startup to 1M+ downloads, turned down a job offer from a unicorn, and dropped the best uni in my country.
Eugene reverse-engineered Kazakhstan’s biggest bank and built his own Stripe for SMBs. He also dropped the same uni ;)
Three months ago, we joined the Entrepreneur First program in SF but didn’t get funded. Now we’re doing everything we can to turn this failure into a success.
Launching soon. Follow along to see us turn everything upside down ;)

WE ARE NOT HOMELESS ANYMORE!!!
At the last moment when we already packed our stuff we got room with very nice co-working in San Mateo!
Thanks everyone who offered their places!!
We keep working and grinding. Even homelessness cannot stop us. Launch is soon ;)
We left homeless in SF!!!!
No jokes. Our check out date in hotel ended up being on one week earlier and we have no place to stay. No money as well
Today is check out. We are cooked💀

We don’t give a fuck as long as we are in SF and can build

The main problem of such AI agents is that you need to know what you can setup. You need to discover, learn, check guides and decide what to automate.
99% of people do not need a tool that will turn into second job.
It is exact stuff that we are solving at @sharpyinc
This is f*cking insane. SpaceXAI engineer:
"99% of people use GrokBot for 1% of what it can do. They run one agent without loops or graphs
I run a team of 30+ GrokBot agents. By 7 a.m. my Chief of Staff has the day planned, my PM has handed out the work, and the workers have shipped half of it"
In this 1-hour session, SpaceXAI shows how to build that team from scratch
GrokBot → Chief of Staff → PM → Workers → Self-Improving Team
A loop sends every task back until it actually works
A graph lets one agent hand its result to the next without you in the middle
Anyone can ask GrokBot a question, almost nobody gives it a team to run
Worth more than most $1,500 agentic engineering courses
Watch it today
Then read how to build a fleet of GrokBot agents in the harness engineering guide below ↓

Three months ago we left everything in Kazakhstan to join @jointhebridge and move to SF.
We dropped uni, declined a job offer from a unicorn, and with no money bet everything on our dream.
The program ends with final pitch to investors. If they say yes, we get $250K.
We pitched. They said no.
But did we give up and go back to a safe life?
FXCK NO!
The real game is starting now.
10 days left in SF.
Follow to see how two cracked founders from Kazakhstan flip everything upside down.

- sending it to ppl
- work on product feedback. Mainly rebuilding ui/ux
Tomorrow:
- onboard people for new iteration
- start IG posting
- start posting product demo on X
7/11 saved us today. Life is good, keep working

Rejection by investor was the best thing that could happen with us. Because after it we:
- Started working 10 times harder and onboarded bunch of people
- Went out of program network and met a lot cool founders & people in SF
- Completely rebuilt the product
- Started living real founders life
Plans:
- Onboard more people IRL
- Crack the distribution and be super loud
- Continue extending network in SF
- Start IG
- Do everything to stay longer here
Follow to see where we end up ;)
