ChirpSwap
People accumulate random sounds – sneezes, dog barks, random keyboard clicks – unintentionally recorded on their phones. These auditory artifacts clutter storage and offer no real utility.

The Solution
ChirpSwap is a marketplace where users can buy, sell, and trade these accidental audio recordings (chirps) as sound effects or quirky notification tones. Imagine using a stranger's accidental door slam as your alarm or purchasing a library of cat sneezes for your YouTube videos.
Confidential Investment MemoAmerican Visionary
"Look, the unit economics are bonkers. But the potential TAM for this? Everyone has these useless audio files. If we can get even a fraction of the world trading their sneezes, we're talking billions. It's a wild bet, but a world where random sounds have value is a world I want to live in. I'm in."
