Cluely's Roy Lee: a Twitch personality in SF tech, with skits carried by comedian Remy Zee
Linahuaa · x · 2026-09-07
An analysis of Cluely founder Roy Lee's rise: he's essentially a Twitch streamer personality who landed in the SF tech sphere — an 'invasive species' in an environment not adapted to him.
The author argues his viral 'Asian office' skit show is actually carried by comedy writer/actor Remy Zee, whose individual star power far exceeds Cluely's. Hiring Zee with VC money was Roy's call, making him the engine behind Roy's 'Kanye of tech' persona.
