Dozy App - Pre-seed round, public launch in July
Hi there!
Quick news: Dozy got mentioned in an Astral Codex Ten post, which resulted in a few things. First, I’ve raised a small pre-seed round, which came at an incredibly helpful time. Second, I’m now working with a few potential collaborators - no longer a solo project! And finally, we’ll be launching the app publicly in July, on both app stores. 🎉
Read on for details.
Astral / Slate Star Codex mention
This was the first and probably only time I’ll get a cold email from Scott Siskind. After he published this article on prescription-only apps, commenters mentioned Dozy as a cheaper up-and-coming alternative. He reached out, I answered some questions, and the resulting post directed many useful connections my way. From there, I raised a small amount of pre-seed funding, and have been talking + working with several potential collaborators.
Public launch
Incorporating changes from closed tests, we’ll be launching publicly in July! Exact date TBD, as we work through the final steps (product improvements, app store approvals, etc). You, dear mailing list subscriber, will be first to know.
Asks
If you know anyone who’s great with mobile app marketing and growth experiments, please send them my way! I’m looking for advisors with this experience, or potentially someone open to contract work.
Yours in sleep,

I’ll send updates less than once per month, with exceptions only if big news happens. Reply here with any questions you have in the meantime. In case you forgot: Dozy is an app that provides drug-free insomnia treatment on your phone.
