Started Unicorn Platform in 2018 with about $2,000 and an old MacBook after burning out on a previous startup. Built the first DevHunt landing page in 2023.

Why this product

Wanted a simple landing-page builder for startups launching online.

Where it's going

Sold in 2022 ($400k cash + $400k MarsX equity). As of Oct 2026 calls himself an "ex-maker" and says he quit indie making to find new challenges; sources don't say when he stopped running Unicorn Platform.
