Building @yourpersona

Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made… A year ago I spent 23 days building an app and scaled it to 21k users and $30k in revenue. I then immediately pivoted into AI B2B SaaS 😭😭 building my startup Meuze to $9M ARR. But honestly, nothing beats the feeling of building and shipping your own apps. So here’s 9 minutes of everything I’ve learned about building solo apps that actually make money.

Today marks exactly one year since I launched my first solo app resumax.ai Surreal seeing I’ve earned over $30k from the app, after spending only 23 days last year building it. It’s crazy how easy it is to build a winning product with AI these days (especially when you build in public) Moving on to bigger and better things now, can’t wait to share more

Loving life recently. Never been more busy between all the travel and work, but I couldn’t be happier. Literally dreamt of this life as a kid.

There’s no shortcut to success
One thing about me, you will never outwork me. Building @yourpersona - we just raised a $10M Pre-Seed and I’ve been averaging 91 hours of work a week ever since I’ve joined… Big things coming soon 👀

Crazy how much your life can change with one year of hard work…

Sooooo I just quit my job as CTO of Meuze. A year ago I was in my dorm room at McGill. Never thought I’d turn down Amazon, build a startup with a Formula One driver, or help take it to $9M in contracted ARR in eight weeks. Now I’m taking another chance on myself and joining @yourpersona as CTO. Proud of what we built and grateful for the people I got to build it with. I didn’t get here without taking risks on myself, so here’s to another one. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Got flown out to New York by OpenAI for 48 hours. Still feels pretty surreal that this is my life right now. Full vlog is live on YouTube 💪

Spent 48 hours in NYC after getting flown out by OpenAI. Crazy to think what my life could’ve looked like if I never took the risk, going all in on myself and turning down that $200k Amazon job. Can’t believe this is my life, I couldn’t be happier.

Blows my mind how far you can get with a little bit of hard work.

Six months ago, @meuzeai didn’t exist. Since then, we’ve built the product, opened our first office, grown the team, started rolling out across thousands of locations, and reached $9M in contracted ARR in just 8 weeks. Check out the full story of how we got here on YT 🤝

Your life can completely change with just 6 months of hard work. I never would’ve believed I’d be the CTO of a multi million dollar startup, with an office in my dream city. Now I’m building @meuzeai with @jackdoohanok, and we are currently contracted to $9M ARR. Still can’t believe this is real…
