Back in 2017, three engineers took a bold gamble. They'd spent enough time inside Siri, Google, and Facebook—seeing firsthand how voice AI was fundamentally flawed. Instead of complaining, they walked out and decided to fix it themselves.



Their radical idea? Rebuild voice AI from the ground up, rejecting the status quo.

Fast forward to today. That same company is now valued at $750M.

It's a reminder that sometimes the biggest opportunities come from recognizing what's broken in existing systems. These engineers didn't just spot a problem—they had the courage to step away and build something better. That's the kind of innovative thinking driving Web3 and tech ecosystems forward.

Anyway, I've heard this story a thousand times: it's just the same old trick of "exposing industry pain points" and then turning things around.

ngl, this story sounds a bit like success psychology brainwashing... but to be fair, a $750M valuation can definitely pack a punch.

This is the kind of story I like—the true problem-solver rather than a keyboard warrior.

Wow, leaving a big company to do it myself—this is truly based. The $750M valuation makes it clear: finding the right pain point is a gold mine.

Leaving the big companies to start your own business—that's true breaking chains.
