Layo is an AI-guided platform for real-world connection on college campuses -- an agent that reads intent, makes introductions, and coordinates in-person meetups end to end
Layo is an AI-guided platform for real-world connection on college campuses -- an agent that reads intent, makes introductions, and coordinates in-person meetups end to end. Sole builder of the product: conversational AI agent, pod architecture, matching system, and subscription and credit infrastructure. Took it from zero to App Store review as the only engineer, while owning product specification and go-to-market materials. Designed the campus go-to-market and growth model -- density-first market selection, ambassador-driven acquisition, and an event-to-pod-to-invite referral loop built into the product rather than bolted on. Structured the pilot to test the loop before scale: cohort selection, activation targets, and the retention thresholds that gate expansion to the next campus tier. Pre-seed and part-time for both founders until the round closes. layosocial.com
