I’m ArunRaj, co-founder of First.new. Previously, I led design at Zarget and Rocketlane. We’re building First.new for people who have an app idea and want to make it real. Today, you can describe what you want, refine it through conversation, and publish a working web app. Longer term, we want to help founders run the business behind the app too, with AI coordinating the work and the founder approving key decisions. I’ll share what we build, what I try, and what I learn along the way. first.new

I believe a future where people prompt for outcomes and businesses run more autonomously is not far away.
