Scaling a Media Empire to 100k Users
How we helped a first-time founder go from zero coding skills to a $2M seed round in just 3 months.
The Challenge
Sarah, a former marketing executive, had a brilliant idea: a platform for independent creators to monetize their content without relying on big tech algorithms. The problem? She had no technical background, a limited budget, and needed to move fast before competitors entered the space.
