Ka Ling Wu - Co-founder and CEO - Upsolve AI

Breakfast with founders 🥐 Today I met with Ka Ling Wu 

Your network is everything. 

Ka Ling is building an awesome platform called Upsolve AI (YC W24), that will really change how businesses are empowered by data.

There were some really valuable snippets other founders should take from Ka Ling:

- Spend more time than you think really learning more about a problem, even if it’s in your current job or business

- Once you know who your ideal customer is, there’s a lot you can do to be smart about how you find them. Go where they are! Be deliberate about your positioning.

- Being on both sides of the table (angel investing and founder) can be so valuable.

- Your network is everything. 

- There are a tonne of accelerators, but finding the one for you can make a big difference. 

- The importance of co-founder fit, which can sometimes be missed in entrepreneurial accelerators.

It turns out we both do CrossFit too!
