FOUNDERS
Building Parrot (YC F25); quit his job on Aug 8, 2025 to build Parrot full-time.
Named as a co‑founder by Amir.
PRODUCT–FOUNDER FIT
Amir repeatedly emphasizes real conversational outcomes and rejects drill-based learning, aligning Parrot to comprehensible input and a 90‑day conversational confidence guarantee. He articulates Parrot’s core purpose as helping people make meaningful connections by breaking down language barriers and frequently contrasts this with shortcomings he sees in competitors.
