About

I've owned and operated companies since high school, from home services to SaaS. Despite never having had a real job, I helped millions of people build their careers as CEO of VisualCV.com - bootstrapping it to 7 figures in profit and a successful exit in 2020. Our mission is to make everyone a business owner. We're building the first AI powered platform that enables anyone in the world to start and grow a successful business in minutes. We launched the first and fastest AI website builder in 2022 (before ChatGPT), that has enabled millions of business owners to get online in less than 30 seconds. Our ambition goes far beyond websites, and we've raised $20 million to tackle that mission. I am building a team to make this vision a reality. Humble yet fiercely ambitious people, please connect.
