Building seriously cool things with AI

Small following. Serious engagement.

@davecto covers the software and AI tools that save solo founders, entrepreneurs and professionals time or money. What a sponsored Reel includes, what it costs, and the terms that come with it.

This is a small, deliberately built account. It exists for one reason: to help solo founders, entrepreneurs and professionals build seriously cool things with AI. They follow to find the software and tools that save them time or money. That focus is why the audience sticks around, and it’s why the number below is unusual.

11.7K people who stop scrolling beats 100K who don’t.

The offer

Portfolio

One product per Reel.

Reels built around a single product, each paired with a free guide on davecto.com. None of these were paid. They show the format a sponsored Reel follows.
