🌈 Building the Llama Life app: an ADHD organizer to help with tasks & routines @llamalife
🎙 Talking about ADHD & Entrepreneurship adhdfounderspod.com
- Cancelled my paid chatGPT sub. Might renew again later, but recently been getting into these situations: Me: can you help me with this coding problem? CGPT: yes here is the answer *lots of back and forth* Me: could I also do it like <insert simpler way>? CGPT: oh sorry yes
- My journey so far...😅 💸 2018 quit $200k+ job 👩🏻💻 2019 started learning to code by watching YouTube videos 🦙 2020 launched Llama Life! 🌱 2021 as a solo indie maker, bootstrapped Llama Life to 700 paying customers 📈 2022 raised $680k pre-seed from @Jason and @CapitalSheep
- I'll never get over the rush from these notifications. It's not the money. It's the feeling that other people value THE WORK.
- Replying to @adhdjesseSpends hours designing new daily routine Pats self on back Never completes day 1
- Hey all, so BIG news. Still processing but wanted to share... Llama Life has raised a pre-seed funding round! Was originally US$650k but due to demand it got oversubscribed to $690k 🤯 Led by Black Sheep Capital (@CapitalSheep) with additional investment from @jason Calacanis!
- Replying to @adhdjesseI also have this thing where sometimes I hear something, but my brain doesn’t process it. So a few seconds later I say “what?” And then they start to repeat themselves.. But half way through I go “oh yeah” and start answering them 😂
- We did it!! iOS app is now live in the AppStore 🎉 I am so excited and nervous at the same time!
- My journey so far! 👩🏻💻 2019: learn to code watching YouTube 🌱 2020: solo indie maker, built & launched @LlamaLife 🚀 2021: bootstrapped to 700 paid customers! 💰 2022: single founder, raised $680k pre-seed fr @Jason @CapitalSheep 👩👧👦 2023: grew the team to 3, built iOS app
- Waking up to this just never gets old! It's not the revenue itself, it's that people value the work and that is a ridiculously good feeling 🥹
- Omg my heart is pounding. Someone has shamelessly ripped off Llama Life. The UI, the features, the NAMES of features. They haven't even tried to be different. I put my heart & soul into making Llama Life. Not sure what to do, very upset right now 🙁 x.com/timeboxd/statu…
- Bit of weekend coding… Doesn’t feel like work when you love it ❤️
