How I started Weavo

From a personal annoyance to a funded startup: building Weavo, raising $10k, growing to 200+ users, and learning why I eventually pivoted.

StartupWeavoBuilding

Weavo started as a personal annoyance: I kept saving places on TikTok and Instagram and never actually visited them. That itch turned into a startup — one that raised $10k from NUS Enterprise, indexed 5,000+ locations from 1,000+ posts, and grew to 200+ users before I pivoted on weak product-market fit. I want to tell the whole story properly: the build, the grant, the traction, and the honest reasons it didn't become the thing I hoped.

This is a placeholder — full writeup coming soon.
