Rork's founders were almost broke when a viral tweet led to $2.8M and a16z | TechCrunch
Briefly

Rork, founded by Levan Kvirkvelia and Daniel Dhawan, experienced a meteoric rise from financial struggles to generating $100,000 in five days due to a viral tweet. Their app allows users with limited technical skills to create mobile apps through simple text prompts. The breakthrough moment came when angel investor Matt Shumer praised Rork over a competitor, significantly boosting visibility and user engagement. This led to a substantial seed funding round, including investments from top venture firms, highlighting the potential of innovative tech tools in app development.
“My jaw just DROPPED. Rork lets you create entire iOS apps just by describing them! Zero. Code. Required. This changes everything for app development.”
“We were complete underdogs. We were really running out of money really soon,” Dhawan told TechCrunch.
