How do you turn a simple “what if?” into a thriving venture—especially when you’re blending creativity, technology, and a dash of entrepreneurial courage?

In this episode of Triangle Tweener Talks, we sit down with Tina Tang, Co-Founder and CEO of Bristles, an AI-driven platform that helps furniture refinishers and DIYers reimagine their projects before picking up a single paintbrush.

Tina shares her journey from civil engineering and data analytics into the world of startups, navigating the messy middle of product-market fit, and iterating her way from a broad concept to a laser-focused solution for a passionate niche audience. She talks candidly about how she used customer interviews, no-nonsense feedback, and evolving AI tools to refine Bristles into a tool that’s now cutting DIY project mock-up time from hours to minutes.

Tune in to hear:

  • How Tina discovered her target market by starting broad and then homing in on furniture refinishers.
  • The gritty reality of early product-market fit—what it looks like, why it’s so hard, and how to push through.
  • Lessons learned from 200+ customer discovery calls: turning “cool tech” into a practical, must-have tool.
  • How evolving AI capabilities, from generative models to segmentation tools, gave Bristles the edge it needed.
  • The value of starting small, embracing “good enough for now,” and letting customer feedback guide your next big move.
