FOUNDERS

Kourosh Ghaffari
Skills: JavaScript, SEO

Indie hacker and Señor PM at Tiiny Host; wrote Voicy’s first line of code a year prior and grew it to thousands of users; previously co-founded Making_Waves at university, which was later ‘acquired’ into a YC-backed company.

PRODUCT–FOUNDER FIT

Kourosh is a hands-on builder and PM who wrote Voicy’s first code himself, ships features quickly based on user demand (e.g., iOS and Edit Mode), and focuses on scrappy distribution (SEO and Chrome Web Store). His indie ethos and prior startup experience (including a YC-adjacent acquisition story) align with building a fast, privacy‑minded voice dictation tool for everyday workflows.
