"How I built a multi million dollar startup in 24 hours" - Interview with CEO of YesNoError
In this episode, we sit down with Matt Schlicht, founder of YesNoError, one of the first fully autonomous decentralized AI agents designed to audit scientific research at scale. Matt shares his journey from skipping college to joining Silicon Valley in 2007, building startups in live video and crypto, and becoming one of the earliest builders with OpenAI’s API. Now, with YesNoError, he's applying advanced AI models to scan scientific papers for real mathematical errors—some of which have already been confirmed and corrected by the original authors.
We explore how YesNoError blends AI with crypto by using tokens to prioritize research topics, fund computation, and one day potentially serve as a public oracle for verified truth. Matt explains the difference between chatbots and autonomous agents, what it takes to tokenize a useful AI, and why this kind of agent could reshape how knowledge is created, verified, and shared.
In this episode, Matt shares the incredible story of how he built YesNoError, an AI and crypto-powered platform, in just 24 hours—and raised over $150M in volume on its first day!
A self-taught entrepreneur, Matt skipped the traditional college route and went straight to Silicon Valley, where he connected with giants like Sam Altman and Brian Armstrong. His unconventional path didn’t stop him from launching successful companies and making waves in the AI, crypto, and Web3 spaces.
YesNoError has already audited over 10,000 research papers, uncovering 100+ errors, and has gained over 9,000 users on day one. With plans to process 1 million papers, the platform is creating a huge impact in the scientific research community.
If you’re fascinated by the future of AI, crypto, and scientific validation, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
