Vishal Virani has been building tech companies for 13+ years. His latest, Rocket.new, raised $15M in seed from Accel and Salesforce Ventures in 2025, hit $4.5M ARR in its first few months, and now has crossed 1.5M users in 180 countries. The platform combines research, app building, and competitive intelligence into one workflow, what Virani calls "vibe solutioning." Instead of just generating code faster, Rocket helps users figure out what to build and whether it's worth building. He also breaks down why so many AI startups are burning through users and cash, and why he thinks sustainable growth beats blitz-scaling every time.
