Cluely founder Roy Lee clarified that Cluely is not an app studio: the few apps they built recently were meant to validate a specific thesis, which was confirmed about four months ago. He won't share details, calling it a "zero-sum discovery," and is extremely optimistic it's the key step to making a lot of money.
Scobleizer's takeaway: entrepreneurs who test their crazy ideas with real humans tend to do better than those who don't.
