He Sold Two Companies—Then Heard 197 No’s. Offer Yehudai Built ARYA Anyway.

🎙 Listen to the full episode on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube.

Before ARYA, Offer Yehudai had already built and sold two adtech companies ($86M, then $650M). With co-founder Tomer Magid, he launched a premium couples-wellness concierge—part human, part AI—that tens of thousands of U.S. couples now pay for monthly. They charged from day one and, using a no-code MVP (Typeform/Airtable/SMS), hit $1M ARR before writing a line of code. That traction grew into double-digit millions in ARR—all while staying premium-only.

Then came the wall: 197 investors said no. Taboo category. Commerce. “Paid from day one.” Offer kept going—refining onboarding and ads, tightening CAC payback, and building a “Costco-style” limited-SKU supply chain. The right yes finally landed, and ARYA accelerated.

What you’ll hear

• The dinner that sparked ARYA—and why routine (not romance) is the real enemy

• How a scrappy no-code concierge reached $1M ARR fast

• Why they refused freemium—and how that improved retention and payback

• Scaling intimacy: concierge + AI that times, tones, and personalizes guidance

• Commerce without “becoming a store” (few SKUs, direct brands, better margins)

• Fundraising in a taboo: 197 rejections—and what finally flipped the room
