Off the Record – Fireside Chats by Wefunder & Andrew Yeung
Off the Record (Fireside Chats) – The Drop
An off-the-record fireside series with founders building real companies, sharing what rarely gets said on stage. No recordings. No filters. Just honest, tactical conversation and transparent Q&A.
In this edition, we’re joined by:
Sidhant Bendre — Cofounder of Oleve
Max Marchione — Cofounder of Superpower
Sidhant Bendre — Cofounder of Oleve
Sid Bendre is the co-founder of Oleve, where they are building a portfolio of iconic consumer software across multiple verticals.
Oleve’s portfolio of virally successful and profitable AI products has dominated App Store charts, generated over 1B+ views across social media platforms, and is generating 8 figures in ARR. Their products include Quizard AI (ranked #5 in Education as of April 2025) and Unstuck AI (ranked #3 in Education as of April 2025), amongst others that are not publicly shared.
Backed by Neo, Cal Henderson (co-founder of Slack), Russell Kaplan (President of Cognition), and Maria Zhang (ex-CTO of Tinder), Oleve is building the AI infrastructure to run a $1B portfolio of consumer software over the next decade.
Max Marchione — Cofounder of Superpower
Max is the founder of Superpower, an AI-powered health startup that’s raised $30M, reached a $300M valuation, and built a waitlist of over 150,000 users in under two years. He’s spent the past decade experimenting with health optimization tools—wearables, biomarkers, nootropics—after his own experience with years of misdiagnosis.
This year alone, Max closed a $30M Series A with backers like Vanessa Hudgens and Steve Aoki, and led Superpower’s acquisition of women’s health platform Feminade and lab-testing startup Base.
This is a space for sharp conversation—about what’s working, what’s not, and what they’d do differently if they had to start over.
Founders only. Limited seats.
