When Clueli, the beginning of the claim to build a product that helps people “cheat” at all, announced that a series of $ 15 million was funded from andreeshen chorowythz, some people Q Criticized VC Company Support Firm.
After all, Clueli does not offer a product that can have questionable use, but running has become known for using what many people call the Marketing Rage-bait.
But CLUELI’s ability to attract attention exactly what has attracted A16Z to Startup.
And before the meeting of Clueli’s Founder of Roy Lee, Andreepsen Chorowitz’s partner Brian Kim thought that launching the necessary new marketing tactics in Ai Eri.
Kim, like many investors, previously thought that the construction of a premium “Artisan” product with very desired characteristics was a key lasting success to start, explained no later than A16Z Podcast Episode.
But shortly after the phenomenon, Genai noticed that it offers an exceptional product may not be enough.
“If you are credited by this thing and Open, or someone is building a new model that includes that part in your product, you are done,” Kim said. “So it couldn’t be this very thoughtful product, slow down the product. Something that founders took extremely fast.”
This realization has led to whom to believe in this speed, whether it is in marketing or product building, the most important for creating a successful start.
Earlier this month, Kim Posted a post Explaining his theory why, because they turned the bedding, “Momentum is power.”
When Kim met Lee and saw that Clueli could turn the customer’s payment awareness, he immediately knew he discovered the founder of which he theorized about.
“It was so hard to break through the noise of everything ai, especially in the consumer and that consistently actually was at the vicinity,” Kim said.
How does Lee explain why his polarizing marketing approach created so much buzzing?
“Most people don’t know how to make viral content,” Lee said on Podcast. “Everyone on X try (sound) as well as the most important person, a thoughtful person. But it just lacks viral meaning.”

Despite a product, starting is yet to detect a solution that is hiping.
“The internet is in the storm, saying,” Where is the product? “” Lee said. “We have been earlier than the latest IC series of companies. Nevertheless, we generate more views than each of them.”
Lee is convinced that after the product will be launched, it will create even more excitement than if Clueli met him without “marketing” in the last two months. (Official launch is set for Friday, 27. June, he Posted on X.)
Kim sees Clueli approach as the perfect realization of his “swing as theory”.
From the point of the essence in AI, A16Z partner is sure that Cluely can understand their product on fly.
“What is important is to try to make a plane while falling down the cliff,” Kim said.
We will all be seen soon if that plane is bothered or crashed.
