Clyn 4.0 Launch Canceled, May We Have Some Money for burying the Lead

by Larry Chiang on June 30, 2025

Unedited by Larry Chiang 


Hi Larry,

This is Diana Muturia, founder of Clyn. I noticed you were the first to register for Clyn’s 4.0 Launch this Tuesday, thank you!

We’ve been focused on pushing out the second iteration of our product and haven’t had a chance to properly plan the event, so we’ll be moving it to a later date.

I also saw that you’re an LP with Thesis and an investor who understands the short-term rental space, well enough to invest in a motel. I’m not actively fundraising at the moment. Honestly, the wave of AI startups has created some collective fatigue in the investment world, and I want to be transparent about choosing to power through with what we’ve raised instead of killing our momentum just to say we closed the round.

That said, I’d still love to walk you through Clyn’s technology on Tuesday if you’re open to it. If it doesn’t align with your thesis (pun intended), no worries at all, I’d be happy to reconnect at the rescheduled launch.

Let me know what works best for you.

Warmly,
Diana
