21 y/o. Built 10+ SaaS products, exited 4. Building @formlyso
Last year, around this time, I set a few big goals for myself for 2024. I wanted to: - Make $10k/month in profit from a SaaS product. - Grow to at least 10k followers on X. - Move to Canada with my girlfriend, leaving the Middle East behind. - Document this entire journey and…
you can literally change your life. you can just do things. this isn’t just some saying. we’re probably living in a simulation - nothing’s stopping you from becoming who you want to be. you have to destroy your old self. completely wipe it out so the new version of you can…
Don’t be a pessimist if you want to succeed in entrepreneurship. Delusional optimists are the ones who actually win.
i'm gonna ship something to the world that makes money in 4 weeks. i still have no clue what it's gonna be, but i'm gonna document the whole process on X. first week's for research - i'm gonna spend some time figuring out what to build. might be a mobile app, might be a saas -…
As an entrepreneur, what's your north star? What's the thing that keeps you going when you feel like shit and want to give up?
When I'm not building anything of my own, I feel completely useless and sad. That feeling is what pushed me to build 10 different SaaS products over the past 4 years. I avoid laziness by constantly thinking about what's possible - and how good it would feel to actually pull it…
wanna make money from X? easiest way is to piss off as many people as possible by saying something the majority don’t agree with. not only will you go viral, but you’ll also make a ton of money from all the impressions. who needs a startup when you can just annoy people all…
The US dollar has lost about 97% of its value since 1913. Do you even understand what that means? If you had $50,000 back then, it would be worth around $2,000 today. The same thing will probably happen in the next century too. I’m losing faith in fiat more and more every…
It’s gonna be interesting to see if AI makes humanity smarter or dumber over the next decade. Personally, I’m more drawn to the idea that we’re heading toward getting dumber Our brain is a muscle. If you don’t actually use it, it’ll just get weaker over time - same way your…
I think it’s time to announce my next startup that I’ve been building in stealth for a while. It’s called Mood, and it’s a vibe-coding platform that lets you build any web app you can imagine. I’m building this entirely solo on the side, and I’m incredibly passionate about it.…
Working on something so freaking exciting for the first time in a while It’s 4 AM. I went to bed a few hours ago, but my brain just wouldn’t let me sleep. I genuinely believe this might be the one - the one that makes it insanely big. I’m beyond passionate about it. If I…
I stopped posting like crazy on X because it makes more sense to go full monk mode on my startup The ROI is just a lot better. I still want a big following here, but that’ll happen once I make it anyway So why spend time growing followers now when I could be building? Here’s…
As a solo founder, you want a product that markets itself so you can focus on building the best product possible. That concept exists - it's called a "viral loop" Lovable is a great example People build things and automatically want to share them with friends or family And…
Once you accept that becoming who you need to be is a long journey and will take time, you'll feel a lot more at ease. Learn to enjoy the journey more than the destination. (Note to self)
I can't believe it, but I just paid $200 for Cursor Ultra. Should I start using Opus MAX all the time now?🤣
I'm 21 years old. I moved from the other side of the world to North America at 20 to chase my dream of becoming a billionaire tech entrepreneur. Here's how it went: October 1st, 2024 My girlfriend and I landed in Ottawa, Canada, after about 24 hours of flights. Because of the…
I treat business like a game. 6 years ago, I used to play a lot of games - especially Fortnite. And I wasn't just good, I was considered the best in my country and ranked among the top 100 players worldwide. I've always wanted to be the best. I'm competitive by nature. That's…
when building a startup, how important do you think it is to work on something you actually enjoy? how often does success happen in startups when the founder(s) aren't deeply obsessed with the problem they're trying to solve?
what if i don’t actually make it? what if i don’t get to billions of dollars? what if i don’t build that wealth around me and my family? i think about it more and more lately, and i just can’t accept that fate. i’d literally rather die than not make it. i can’t even think of…
