Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with sibling co-founders Lili and Ramon Montes, the team behind Limon, an audio-first travel platform that turns day trips into shareable stories. We talk about how growing up in the same sport shaped their leadership and teamwork, why their first “all in one” concept didn’t stick, and how focusing on photos plus voice unlocked a community built on trust. They walk through plans to help creators monetize, the path from a small beta to public launch, and why crowdfunding fits a platform powered by its users. We also explore future AI features to turn raw stories into usable itineraries.

Yeah, thanks so much for having you. I'm super excited to be here. Yeah, we're super happy to be here. Great to see you again. Great to see you guys again. You're just such a fantastic job on GoFund yourself. I had to have you on the podcast. One of the most intriguing things, because we have the Playbook to success on this entrepreneurial journey that makes you two so unique. It also makes me jealous is that you guys are brother and sister.

0:40.4

Yeah.

0:47.3

I repeat, ever work with me.

And some of my brothers as well, I think it would be torture.

0:56.7

For you two, how have you been able to expand your personal brother-sister relationship to withstand the emotional stress and

1:04.9

struggles and the interference that entrepreneurship creates because being brother and sister sometimes is tough

1:12.7

enough because we love each other so much, we bug the crap out of each other.

1:18.6

Well, I'd say it's been a bit of an evolution of us working together.

So we've always gotten along very well together like as siblings, but collaborating didn't

1:41.3

So we had a lot of the same similar friends because we both played on our teams for

1:44.9

high school and all the volleyball players at each other. Lily actually started hosting a beach

1:50.1

volleyball tournament with all of our friends together. So we were used to having like the same

friend groups being around each other all the time. And then in college, honestly, one of the big
