Cailyn Yong quit a $10,000/month income, left a 32,000-person community in Korea, and moved to San Francisco to build Momo: a CRM for AI agents from scratch.
In this episode we sat down at Founders Inc., the place that changed everything for her, to talk about what it really took to build in public, why she launched before the product was ready, and what three memory architecture experiments taught her about how AI memory works.
We covered:
•Why she walked away from $10K/month and a 32K community
•Getting into Founders Inc. while filing the application from an ER waiting room
•Five co-founder trials and what trust means to her
•The 90% churn rate that forced her to rethink everything
•Why a one-stop SaaS memory solution never worked
•Building in public through every low — and why it became her biggest moat
