Maggie Sin, co-founder of MyCompanions, stars in the Genuinely Good Podcast to talk about AI, ambition, and what it really takes to build a company from scratch in Silicon Valley.
Maggie's story starts long before the startup world. Growing up shy in Los Angeles with no clear path into tech, it was an early internship and a curiosity she couldn't ignore that slowly pulled her toward the industry. She went on to build her career at Amazon, Morgan Stanley, and Adobe, learning how to think big, move fast, and lead in complex environments.
When two brilliant co-founders came to her, she said yes, and together they built MyCompanions.ai, an AI platform helping creators turn one-way audiences into two-way conversations. Within their first year, they closed a funding round and gained 600,000 users.
The conversation also covers the side of founding that most people do not talk about: the hesitations, the steep learning curve, and what it really looks like to be a female founder in one of the most competitive ecosystems in the world.
