21 Nov 2025
How did Ricardo scale DreamStories to 100,000 customers?
can i ask how many sales total you have so far yeah close to a hundred thousand that's a ton when did you launch at the beginning of this year uh we only really started scaling uh very recently right can i just do that math i mean can i do a hundred thousand sales i'm 60 a piece you guys have done six million bucks in total revenue life to date i think this month uh yes we're in the six figures everything else you see is custom built hey folks my guest today is ricardo he's the co-founder of dream stories harnessing generative ai to bring immersive storytelling and image creation to life
So I started noticing this repeatable pattern that I figured you can build services around this, right? You know, something that grows with you and kind of, you know, matches the phase that you're in.
Before launching the company in 2023, he was VP of growth at a body scan startup called Neko Health. Prior to that, he founded a snack company and was a founding member of Spotify's US team. Ricardo, you ready to take us to the top? Absolutely. All right. People hear Spotify and early and they assume you got rich off options. Is that accurate?
Fairly accurate, yes. I was early enough that it made sense, yes.
What year was that?
So I joined in 2009, I guess. Yeah.
Okay, interesting. And is it fair to say, because I want to understand the build up obviously to dreamstories.ai, did you basically take a big chunk of the money you made there and sort of plow it into the new venture? Or how did you think about that, those options?
Yeah, no, part of it, yes, but I did start a few companies in between as well that I've also had an exit for, so a mix of both, right? So the Spotify got the car and the house, you know, and then the other stuff got the company going.
Fair enough. Okay, let's not bury the lead here. Let's get an overview of Dream Stories first, and then we'll go get your sort of history between Spotify and Dream Stories. So what is dreamstories.ai?
