A YC founder turns a manual, low-IQ grind into an AI agent that finds creators, negotiates terms, and scales UGC—sometimes a little too far. What starts as a viral local-model demo becomes Stormy AI’s end-to-end engine for influencer marketing.
Fresh off YC Demo Day, Robert Lukoszko (Stormy AI) breaks down the pivot, the fundraising blitz, and how agencies are replacing hours of scrolling with autonomous outreach. We get into model-proof moats, why micro-creators beat celebrity accounts, and the coming wave of AI-generated influencers.
You’ll learn:
How a YC pivot formed around a founder’s own pain (and real demand)
The playbook: sourcing, outreach, negotiation, and QA with AI agents
Why “every better model makes us stronger” is the right moat test
Micro vs. macro creators: what actually converts in 2025
The next act: AI-native UGC, personalization, and brand-owned AI faces
Tactical Demo Day lessons: energy + social proof = signed checks
