Yassin is the founder and CEO of Nas.com, an AI-powered startup designed to help solo entrepreneurs start and grow their online businesses with a single product photo. Yassin studied economics and computer science at Harvard University, graduating in 2014. He started his career as a software engineer at Venmo.

In 2016, Yassin left his job to travel the world and document his experiences, launching Nas Daily, a one-minute video series that he sustained for 1,000 consecutive days and grew to a global media brand.

That venture into content creation, spanning 19 languages and multiple social networks, gave Yassin deep insight into storytelling, audience growth and digital marketing. With Nas.com, he is turning those lessons into software. The platform, which he founded in 2022, automatically builds storefronts, generates high‑performing marketing content and runs ads for creators and small business owners, lowering the technical and marketing barriers to solo entrepreneurship.

The platform has already minted four millionaires and earned funding from the likes of Vinod Khosla, a venture capitalist who made early investments in OpenAI, Stripe and DoorDash.

Pitching Nas.com

For someone who’s never heard of Nas.com, what’s the most concrete way you explain what it does for a solo seller in their first week?

In the first seven minutes, you take a picture of whatever you want to sell, and we handle everything else to help you find a customer to buy that thing. With that one picture, AI creates your store, makes your marketing, and helps you find the customer.

It really comes down to three main things: you can sell any product you want, market the product, and get paid. You upload a single picture of whatever you want to sell—yourself, your products, your candles—and AI automatically creates your product page, sets pricing and options, writes the content, and can even generate a video. With one click, you can market that product on Instagram and Facebook directly through Nas.com. We’ve simplified what used to be three difficult skills—coding a website, creating content and doing performance marketing—into one simple interface to create more entrepreneurs in the world.

His content background

You have a decade of experience creating content. How successful were you?

Across the internet, Nas Daily reached about 70 million followers and more than 20 billion views. We have around 5 million followers on TikTok and 55 million on Instagram on the Nas Daily channel. I built Nas Daily across virtually every social media channel and many languages: Nas Daily Arabic, Nas Daily Indonesia, Nas Daily Spanish, and more — 19 languages and six platforms in total, with about 70 million followers overall. It became a great lifestyle business, but I realized the bigger opportunity is being the platform for others rather than being the influencer.

What did it take to get that many followers?

It felt like eating glass. I made 1,000 videos in 1,000 days straight, which is where the name Nas Daily comes from. Each video took about 15 hours to make, and I produced them from 64 countries. The first 270 videos failed, and it was video 271 that finally broke through. To get attention and build a social media following, you need an irrational work ethic and passion. I don’t recommend it for everyone; at a certain level, it becomes a security concern and isn’t necessarily a healthy way to live. What I do think is for everyone is building a business and working for yourself.

What kind of content did you put out in those 1,000 videos?

I traveled around the world focusing on whatever was interesting about people and places. I looked for the most interesting people—founders of companies, people doing crazy or inspiring things—and made videos about them, plus personal stories. For example, I did a video in Bhutan about it being one of the most romantic countries, showing a nation that’s one of the least visited in the world. Another video covered the woman founder of Miami—Miami is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman—and others included a video abo
