Datz Daito

i'm a founder and creator.
i love building stuff, growing myself, and learning things i know nothing about.

i'm building velocity, a tech drama by AI. the social network, but all AI, all solo.
also, i made AI videos for yamaha and micro.

i joined assethub, a 3D AI workflow canvas, as the #1 non-technical hire. first users, first revenue, first enterprise contract. we raised $2.7m+ and grew from 4 to 20+. nothing fancy. i just did everything a startup needs for initial growth.

i built consumer products and raised $1.5m+ with a $500k run rate. bye, an AI-native search engine for resale. destore, the world's first on-chain community retail (closed for robberies…). and a bunch more that died at mvp with their first users. covered by bloomberg, nikkei, yahoo news, sf business times. that made my parents happy. they weren't when i moved to the states.

i built japan's first fashion youtube channel with 1m+ views. then turned down a CS offer from king's college london to build in SF.

on the side, i'm an ondeck fellow, an orangedao fellow, and co-running the largest japanese founders community and the korea–japan founders community in the U.S. paying it forward for the ecosystem.

i run, hike, meditate, and sauna. i thrift the best steals on the internet.
sometimes i style, cut hair, and paint.
but mostly i just work, so no time for any of that.
