Surya Dantuluri

I've always been pathologically impatient with the latency between a good idea and a working application.

The applications themselves were almost trivial. At 17 I fine-tuned GPT-2 to power blogs with 12M+ views. At 19 I ran MEV strategies and left school. At 21 I shipped the #1 ChatGPT plugin to a million users. At 22, with backing from OpenAI, I saw that same friction firsthand, inside the Pentagon. Each time confirming the same truth: the bottleneck isn't the quality of the idea; it's the soul-crushing friction of translating it into operational reality.

After enough times, you realize building one-off apps is a profound waste of time. The necessary work isn't to build another application. It's to industrialize the very process of creation.

The cost of code is approaching zero. At zero, every company becomes a software company. The winners won't be those with more SaaS tools and AI agents, but those who transformed their expertise into autonomous software.

We're building the software foundry.
