Jia wrapped 2025
Nick Kalpakis
[Verse 1]
Got SWE offers from Disney and Intuit glow,
But I said "no do," dropped 'em for the SF flow.
From hackathon queen, begging teams in '23,
Rejected 30 times, then won solo – that's me!
Two years later, YC hackathon overnight,
Built Bevin with Mal, took 1st place in the fight.
Garry Tan repost, OpenAI HQ invite,
24 hours grinding, just 3 hours sleep that night.
[Chorus]
2025 wrapped – that's the tweet!
Started the company, collected revenue sweet,
Closed that pre-seed, angels all in heat,
Got the haircut (three, actually) – complete!
Sorcerer rising, intelligent reach,
Bot marketing dead, now we teach and preach!
[Verse 2]
Introduced Sorcerer: "Bot marketing is dead,"
Intelligent distribution, AI age ahead.
Talented devs need reach without the cost,
Beta waitlist popping, no more getting lost.
In awe of the girls in CS, cracked and cool,
ML projects, robots, DJs – breaking every rule.
Founders odd creatures, cosplay and Rust code,
Pizza with fork, but 20M funding load.
[Bridge]
From hotpot events to first angel checks,
Hustled in SF, no money, just reps.
Built cool stuff, remembered the joy in code,
Systems efficient, delight on the road.
Bullish on hackathon kids, they ship so fast,
Self-confidence found, now the future's vast.
[Chorus]
2025 wrapped – that's the tweet!
Started Sorcerer, revenue on repeat,
Pre-seed in the bag, haircut on fleek,
2026 calling – peak after peak!
From rejections to wins, solo to team,
Jia and Mal building the dream!
[Outro]
That is it, that is the wrapped...
But watch this space, we're just getting tapped!
