hey, i am arlan.
i am the ceo of nozomio, a consumer company based in san francisco. we recently launched folk.com, a personal agent for gen z. text it on imessage or whatsapp and it helps you save money, watches for price drops, finds you great clothes, and more.
tldr:
- dropped out of 11th grade in kazakhstan
- raised $6.5m from paul graham (founder of y combinator), the creator of gmail, a cofounder of spotify, boxgroup, localglobe, and gokul rajaram
- youngest yc founder from asia
before that, i played a ton of video games (valorant and fortnite), did research at stanford, and built a couple of consumer apps at 15.
my favorite anime are attack on titan and horimiya. i'm really into fashion and consumer psychology.
if you're interested in working with me, email arlan@nozomio.com.
