The mind behind Zeek.
A small team with one belief: the internet was built for reach. We’re building it for depth — at scale.
Raghav Gupta
I started as a marketer — helping creators reach millions of people they’d never actually talk to.
Scale without connection. Reach without depth. Social media had become more about scrolls than socializing — I spoke about it at TEDx.
At Stanford University, I studied how the human mind works — and how human-machine interaction can feel intuitive using the same techniques artists use. That became the lens for everything after.
Founded and sold Oatmeal AI. Then built Zeek — because creators deserve more than reach, and fans deserve more than a feed.
You own your story. Full stop.
Every memory, belief, and chapter stays yours. Shared when you choose, protected when you don’t. No platform decides what’s public.
Authenticity can’t be faked. That’s the point.
Zi sounds like you, not like AI. Tone, rhythm, even silence. If it feels generic — we’ve failed.
Legacy is the product.
We don’t optimise for engagement loops or daily actives. We build for what’s still meaningful in twenty years.
Want to build with us?
We're a tiny team. We hire slowly and obsess about craft.
