As you mentioned, I founded a snack company where I was trying to do personalized nutrition for people with a body scanner, which is actually a company by Daniel Ek as well of Spotify.
We're almost
doing the same thing in the reverse manner.
You can think of healthcare as an artisan good, right?
You sit there and there's a doctor across from you doing, performing a service for you one-on-one.
And with Neko Health, we are trying to scale it right at mass, do a good service, a personalized service at scale.
And so Dream Stories is kind of a connection of these things and trying to do that for content.
Essentially, because when, as you mentioned, I started the company in 2023, this was around the times you started seeing stuff like Sable Diffusion come out, you know, in mid-journey and so forth with the image stuff.
And when I saw it, to be honest, I had this moment, oh shit, this is the moment where these things actually become possible.
Because in the meantime, you've seen stuff like Suno come up, you know, the music, generative music stuff.
S-U-N-O.
Yes.
There's stuff like Suno.
There's a few other models out there that let you create personalized music, if you will.
I actually think this is more interesting for our use cases other than music.
And that's kind of, we built the company around the experimentation around those contents, right?
And so we decided to start with the family content, particularly children's books, you know, as a first market.
But essentially, we're building the real core of what we're building is the platform that allows you to
take a consumer that is not technical, right, and give them the ability to create and basically create content for self-consumption, right, of their own family.
Yeah, so it's not a coincidence that, you know, things lined up as I looked at the behavior at home with my own child.
