Dulitha Wijewantha's Linkedin Analytics

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. Let's connect and chat about tech, startups, or the art of the perfect wave! 🏄‍♂️💻🚀
