Mark Rachapoom

I am a co-founder of Dench.com (We were in the Y Combinator S24 batch). It's a tool to help our team sell. We simply built it because we fucking hate selling and desperately needed something to help us (and now others) out. Before that, I founded Merse, the Netflix for audio-visual comics and one of Business Insider's 13 creator-economy startups to watch, and taught myself SwiftUI from the ground up to build Diary Dingo, which hit top 3 in the App Store's lifestyle category within 24 hours of launch. I make videos about startups and Silicon Valley that have reached 1,000,000+ views. I hold an O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visa, and I'm grateful to Guillermo Rauch, Garry Tan, and Ryan Hoover for writing recommendation letters to USCIS to help on my case. I'm also a Vercel AI Accelerator Fellow and received a grant from David Senra of Founders Podcast.
