- Viral AI games & simulations like Status (hit 1M users faster than Instagram)?
- Sticky onboarding flows like Boardy ($8M raised)?
- A WhatsApp-based business like HaBuild (10M users learning yoga on WhatsApp)
- Even a bank like Finnova (Nigerian FinTech), Felix Pago ($100M raised)
With Meatball, you finally can!
