Why It Matters

Wabi illustrates a broader move toward consumer‑AI‑driven, no‑code software that could reshape how apps are discovered, built and monetized, creating new network‑effect dynamics for the app economy. Its success may spur further investment in social, prompt‑based development tools and challenge traditional app‑store models.

Deal Summary

Wabi, the AI‑driven "YouTube of apps" platform founded by Replika creator Eugenia Kuyda, announced a $20 million pre‑seed funding round. The round was backed by a roster of high‑profile angels including Naval Ravikant, Garry Tan, Justin Kan, Amjad Masad, Akshay Kothari, DJ Seo and Sarah Guo. The capital will be used to expand the product team and subsidize the service as it scales.
