Samiur Rahman’s workspace

Samiur Rahman is the cofounder and CEO of Heyday, an AI-powered research assistant that helps you retain more of what you learn by resurfacing content you forgot about.

I’m excited thrilled to announce that Heyday has raised a $6.5M Seed led by Kevin Thau at Spark Capital. My co-founder, Sam DeBrule, shared our pitch deck on Twitter earlier this week. Here’s my workspace while I was raising our round:

What do you look forward to most each day? Least?

Most: Talking through crazy new ideas of how we can automate more things for people
Least: Doing the million little mundane things that’s necessary to run a business

How do you spark creativity?

Going for long walks, particularly with Sam (my cofounder). Let the conversation flow, instead of having an agenda.

What excites you most about Heyday?

I hate doing mundane things, and I hate the feeling of “forgetting something”. Heyday will make that better for me and for millions of others! LFG!
