In this interview clip, a 24‑year‑old founder explains how he intentionally built his company by pre‑selling the product before any development. He posted a LinkedIn announcement, created a landing page with a direct payment link, and within two weeks secured a $2,500 monthly recurring subscription. The venture quickly scaled to $120,000 in annual recurring revenue in six weeks, landing notable customers such as HubSpot and PostHog. After a few months of operation, the founder sold the business on acquire.com. The conversation highlights the founder’s unconventional, fast‑track approach to startup creation and exit.

What's really interesting is the way we built this company. It's similar to how I built Peerbase, but Peerbase was an accident. This, we did it very intentionally. We sold the product before we built the company. So I got on LinkedIn and I was like, here's this wild idea. And a couple people thought it was interesting. So I set up a website and a landing page. And the big thing is I put a payment link on there. You could buy on the website. And a lot of people are scared to do that. But we set up the website, we let people pay us. And after 2 weeks, somebody paid us $2,500 monthly recurring. Like they subscribed, jumped in and we built that company. We took it to $120,000 in annual recurring revenue in 6 weeks, signed up people like HubSpot, PostHog. And after a couple months of operating it, we sold it on acquire.com. Hell yeah. Damn, dude, you've been busy so far in your career. You're only 24. That's, that's incredible.
