Lucknow, India — 18 — builder
hi, i'm
Misbah Khursheed
I'm 18, on a gap year, and I've been shipping software since I can remember. I believe the best way to learn anything is to do it, publicly, and fast.
Right now I'm building Syphon (MCP marketplace), co-founding firstDraft (social platform for builders), running Sunbeam Agencies (B2B web dev, 5L+ revenue), and quietly building Relay. I also created Rey — a compiled programming language written in Rust. I attended YC Startup School India 2026 and run Neural Nexus, an AI/ML community of 50+ members.
When I'm not building, I'm either speedrunning Minecraft or doomscrolling Instagram.
what i believe
it's a philosophy.
execution is everything.
perfect later.
