In 2017, Vicc co-founded Polly, a Snapchat-integrated polling app that participated in Y Combinator’s S17 batch and reached more than 40 million teens worldwide within two weeks of launch. Before Polly, he co-founded Whale, a video Q&A app, alongside Justin Kan. In 2016, he also worked with Marlon Lopez and Saul Lopez to build LooBot, an SMS-based AI assistant that helped people without reliable WiFi access find nearby gender-neutral restrooms and charging stations.
