Supernovas labs

Founder, COO & Chairman of the Board

Sep 2021Sep 2022 · 1 yr · Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland

  • Founder of Supernovas, the decentralized social network for web3. Day-to-day, I owned Supernovas operations, product, growth, and marketing. Supernovas raised a successful pre-seed round in the US in late 2021 & grew to 10k DAU, but operations ceased in 2022. Invaluable lessons were learned from both my failures and my successes, and overall I learned and grew personally and professionally more than I could have ever imagined. I will go forth and use my newfound expertise and immense knowledge gained through this experience in building something new. 🛠
