From Weloom to Laryaa: Building What I Needed Most A few months ago, I started building Weloom โ an AI-powered platform for the Ikat industry. It was born from my love for the craft and my first-hand observation of real challenges: ๐งต Declining skilled weavers and traditional craftsmanship ๐ Inefficient demandโsupply visibility ๐ Limited digital presence for artisans ๐ฅ Manual, time-consuming design translation The idea was simple โ use AI and computer vision to digitize the weaving process and make complex design-to-graph conversion faster and easier for weavers. The response was validating. But the deeper I went, the clearer it became โ to do justice to it, Iโd need specialized AI/ML expertise, a bigger team, and a long runway. So, I made a tough decision: to pivot. Not away from technology โ but toward a problem Iโve personally lived through. Before startups, I worked at a post office and later at a real estate office. Thatโs where I learned what โsalesโ really means โ not scripts, not automation, but human connection, trust, and clarity. When I tried selling Weloomโs vision, I realized how hard it is to pitch the right story to the right person. That pain became the seed for my new startup โ Laryaa. Laryaa is an AI Sales Co-Pilot that helps businesses move from persona โ pitch โ conversion in one click. If Weloom was about empowering artisans with AI, Laryaa is about empowering salespeople and founders with AI โ including myself. ๐ง Lesson: Your first startup shows you the problem. Your second one teaches you how to sell it right. ๐ Now building Laryaa in public โ follow my journey.
