Episode 402 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Aaron Sekhri, CEO & Co-Founder of Le Walk.
Most apps are trying to get you to stare at your phone and create a stickiness factor for doomscrolling. Yet, Le Walk wants you to look up and take in the world.
If you have ever experienced a group tour for a museum or some other historical location, it can be a crap shoot and for me, even with the best tour guide, I have a hard time focusing and taking it all in.
This is where Le Walk comes to the rescue. It is your personal tour guide, right in your headphones. The company uses AI to enhance, not replace, human creativity. Every tour still relies on real guides, editors, and storytellers — AI just helps amplify their reach.
Le Walk recently announced a $4.1M seed co-led by Adverb Ventures and Lerer Hippeau, with participation from Origins Fund and Point72 Ventures. In beta, Le Walk has reached 110k downloads, 160k+ social followers, and 20k+ tours taken.
In this interview, we cover:
- Aaron’s experience growing up in Hong Kong and how he landed at Stanford to study Symbolic Systems.
- Getting his career started in Product Management while at Uber.
- His experience at TikTok and what he learned there.
- All the details about Le Walk and the plans ahead.
- Their content playbook for customer acquisition and why content is king when it comes to building traction for a startup and their strategy around content.
- And so much more.
