my second app, cleaneats, just got acquired 😭. two years ago, i was in nigeria — broke, stuck in my 3rd gap year, and completely cooked. most of my family gave up on me. at 20, i made it to the US through sheer will, desperate to turn my life around. i slept on a friend’s

if you’re a male in San Francisco. > building consumer apps.> made at least $250K+.> never raised. we just leased a small office. not a coworking space, not a hangout. pressure cooker for builders. max 5 people. 2 spots left - dm if you’re in.

every time I talk to my high school friends, the convo is always about the past. no growth, no future. i can’t stand irrelevant chatter — unless it’s with a girl i’m into. otherwise, i’d rather be alone.

i’ve had people offer me $10–20K just to rebuild their onboarding. it’s the best onboarding you’ll ever see.

everything I know about virality came from launching this app 3 years ago. did 100+ user interviews, threw parties and learned how status drives behavior. girls suggested features I thought were dumb — until I realized they understood status way better than I did

when I first came to the US and saw how credit worked, I was confused why my balance kept going up when I spent money. like… up means I’m owing?. I almost thought I was making money 😭.

the gold rush to build dumb AI apps is over. 2024 was brain rot wrappers and easy money. in 2025, only ā€œwtf is this?ā€ UI breaks through. most of you won’t make it.

if I’m not getting anxiety from what I’m building, I start to lose interest.

i used to pray for this life. only 2 years in the US and I’ve accumulated more liquid cash than 95% of americans. yet, when people ask me my story, i feel almost ashamed & embarrassed that it’s not enough.
