Build an app.
Spend $8,000 on Apple Search Ads.
Generate $8,000 in revenue.
Call yourself an 8-figure app founder (if you count the cents).

The players who participated
Higgsfield gave me $100,000 to realize my dream:
A hackathon where participants build a real business, not just an app.
So... Introducing The $100K Hackathon:
🏴☠️ SHIP-OR-DIE.COM/100K-HACKATH… 🏴☠️
It starts on November 16, and you'll have 30 days to build a startup and make it profitable. The prizes:
🥇 $100,000
🥈 iPhone Duo
🥉 MacBook Neo
This is not a joke. The winner will get $100,000 in cash.
To win, you must:
1. Start a completely new business on Nov 16
2. Build a digital product (SaaS, directory, etc.)
3. Make the most profit (not revenue)
You can already register at $99. When the hackathon starts on Nov 16, you can still join for $149.
I'm running this with my dear friend @jackfriks, and we'll manually review each potential winner to make sure everything holds up.
See you on November 16, builders 🏴☠️🫡

I made a Claude skill that makes you go viral with every single reel
12 hours ago I tested it by posting this video ( 100% made with Claude )
and its already at:
125,000 views and 17,000 likes.
it also got me 600 followers.
and it literally took me less
than 1 hour to make it
but thats just 1 video
I've done this on every platform
for the last year.
IG and TT→ 200M views
Youtube → 100M views
X ( twitter ) → 100M views
virality is not luck its engineered,
so I packaged all my knowledge
into 1 claude skill.
if you give this skill to claude
he will understand
the anatomy of a viral video
and stop sounding like AI
So you can create bangers with it.
