In AI Infra, WaveSpeedAI founder Cheng Zeyi believes that AI Infra itself is a money-making business. WaveSpeedAI provides inference acceleration for image and video generation. Its product launched in February 2025, generated $50,000 in revenue in March, doubled its revenue and became profitable in April, and is expected to reach ten million dollars by the end of the year; customers include leading global customers such as Freepik and Replicate, and the company completed a multimillion-dollar angel round in April 2025.^[1]

In OC social, Kotoko AI founder Qiao Haixin has set his sights on OC (original character) social. He believes Character AI's story is over, while OC has a clearly fast-growing core demographic. Kotoko AI was founded in 2023, and its product Bside is an OC social interaction platform that combines UGC and gamified gameplay. It is about to appear at Steam Next Fest and will enter Early Access in July.^[2]

The AI Coding track is also lively. Yanchuang Wanwu was founded in early 2025 by former TikTok algorithm lead Chen Zhijie and Liu Xiaochun, focuses on AI Coding/AI SWE, and has completed a nearly $10 million angel round. Chen Zhijie pointed out that writing code accounts for only 30% of a software engineer's work, and software production in serious scenarios is more complex than imagined.^[4] ClackyAI founder Li Yafei has launched a Coding Agent product, positioned as a cloud IDE built for AI, allowing AI to quickly build professional-grade usable software with frontend, backend, and database; the team decided to go all in after Devin became popular in 2024.^[6]

In AI design agents, Lovart founder Chen Mian believes AI image products have entered the 3.0 Agent stage. After Lovart's release, nearly 5,000 discussion posts appeared on Twitter, the official video got nearly one million views, and waitlist applications exceeded 20,000 within 24 hours.^[5]

In addition, Luo Yonghao revealed at AGI Playground 2025 that Liang Wenfeng advised him to "make a living by talking." He does not rule out doing a podcast to help tech entrepreneurs and said a new product might launch in two or three months.^[8] AGI Playground 2025 was held on June 21–22 and featured segments such as RTE Open Day, an outdoor networking area, and an After Party.^[7]

The above are slices of AI entrepreneurship presented in recent Founder Park conversations: from Infra commercialization to vertical Agents, entrepreneurs are seeking the meeting point between product and market in their respective tracks.
