CEO’s Notes

Hello everyone,

January marked an important milestone for CASEY as we transitioned from preparation into execution. This month, we officially launched the product and began moving into active user acquisition and investor outreach.

Alongside the product launch, we completed a full redesign of the CASEY website focused on improving conversion and onboarding. On the business side, we’ve begun structured investor outreach while continuing to build the team needed to support growth.

We’re also pleased to officially welcome Audrey Hametner as an advisor and board member. Audrey will be supporting CASEY on strategic direction and key venture decisions as we move into this next phase of growth.

As we move forward, our focus is now on acquiring real users, validating engagement, and progressing fundraising conversations with greater momentum.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

— Maaz Kazi
CEO, CASEY
