About Me

I'm Justin Mendez, and I'm building ArthorAI while documenting every step of the journey.

Why I Document

When I started building ArthorAI, I realized there was a gap in the startup world. Most founder content is either highly polished success stories or vague platitudes about the grind. Neither tells you what it is actually like to build something from scratch.

So I decided to document everything - the daily work, the monthly metrics, the strategic decisions, and yes, the failures too. This site is my attempt to provide the kind of transparency I wish I had when I started.

Who This Is For

This content is for anyone curious about what it really takes to build an AI company:

  • Future founders looking for realistic expectations
  • Investors who want to understand founder thinking
  • Engineers and operators considering startup roles
  • Anyone curious about the AI industry from the inside
