Making companies AI-native | Agents

Hey 👋

I'm Dulitha, a seller trapped in an engineer's body. My journey began when I was 15, with writing a book, securing a family loan to self-publish, and using the proceeds to buy my first laptop. Talk about bootstrapping!

I believe persuasion is an art form, and true artists master it. Currently, I'm building Aristotle, the ultimate sales follow-up tool that's lightning-fast, giving sellers more time to, well, sell.

My career's been a wild ride:
• Started as a 16-year-old software engineer in retail (paid from the company's "incidental" budget 😉)
• Developed the world's first Open Source MDM at WSO2, used by Softbank and Fortune 500 companies
• Transitioned to pre-sales, consulting for US and Australian firms
• Launched a micro-SaaS helping self-published authors become Amazon bestsellers (spoiler: it worked!)

Then came the entrepreneurship rollercoaster:
• Scaled CabbageApps, a software dev firm, to 50 engineers working globally
• Launched multiple ventures:
  - Aristotle (Sales Automation AI) → Venture-backed, early traction, chasing PMF
  - HyperGlade (Real World Assets to Web3) → Similar story to Aristotle
  - AsyncInterviews (One-Way Video Interview Platform) → Lifestyle micro-SaaS
  - Urban.lk (Sri Lankan E-commerce) → Slowed post-2022 economic crisis
  - Alakazam (Marketing Automation) → Failed (thanks, Facebook API changes!)
  - KDP Rocket → Successful and exited

Recently, I was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Hustlefund in San Francisco, where Aristotle was born.

I'm a perpetual curiosity-follower. When not building or selling, you'll find me surfing, golfing, or rock climbing – my current obsessions in an ever-changing list of interests.
