Vector databases are a scam. Not technically, they do exactly what they say. Return the most cosine-similar string to your query. The scam is the entire industry pretending that's the same thing as relevance. It isn't. Search "Apple." You get the fruit, the company, the watch, and a recipe blog. Your agent picks one at random and calls it retrieval. Your customer calls it broken. Most AI agents shipping right now are duct-taped on top of this. They demo well because demos are easy. They die in production because production is real. HydraDB's Founder Nish (Nishkarsh) said the quiet part out loud — "vector databases suck, similarity is not relevance" — and the demo signups haven't stopped since. He raised $6.5M because he was the first to name what everyone in the room already knew. If your retrieval layer is a flat embedding index, you're not building infrastructure. You're building a liability with a prettier name.

How did Dhravya Shah get a Cloudflare internship at 18? "I built something, it got DDoSed, so I reverse-engineered Cloudflare to protect it — wrote a blog about it, it went viral and the CTO just said: do you want to work here?" Dhravya (now founder of supermemory) didn't apply. He just built in the open until the right person noticed. Full interview about his journey below.

When Lovable, the hottest AI coding company in the world quietly tried to acquire Rork, Daniel Dhawan mentioned it offhand to investors who had been on the fence. They went from completely uninterested to sending term sheets overnight. That's how he closed a $18M round. Rork is the world's largest AI mobile app builder. It one-shots any app, publishes directly to the App Store, generates screenshots, and with Roark Max, replaces Xcode entirely in the browser. Bolt and Lovable tried to crack mobile. They couldn't. Because they'd never shipped mobile apps. Daniel and his co-founder Levan Kvirkvelia have spent their entire careers doing exactly that and it shows.

At 16, with zero programming knowledge, Tejas taught himself to build a website for the motel he grew up in. It made $48K/year. Tejas Bhakta grew up literally living in a Budget Inn motel in Anaheim — from birth until he was 18. "My parents only did sixth grade, there was really no means for them to build the website or even set up wifi." "I barely knew how to code, so I was hacking something together with WordPress." That same instinct to just figure it out carried him to Tesla, to YC, to founding Morph. Watch the full Composio interview here:
