Building startups

I’ve started three companies, survived two pivots, and bailed countless founders out of spreadsheet purgatory.

Today, I’m the CEO of Adlega, a SaaS runway‑planning platform trusted by 1,200+ founders to model cash burn in under 90 minutes. Nights and weekends, I’m building Zaqlick, a “first‑mile” discovery layer that lets early‑stage teams chat with AI personas trained on real market data (think Reddit rants, competitor reviews, and support tickets). You ask, they answer, and your next customer interview starts miles deeper.

Why build both? I’ve wasted months guessing what users really cared about. The result: half‑built features, burned runway, and an inbox full of polite maybes. Adlega keeps the money math honest; Zaqlick flips the discovery script so you ship with confidence, or kill the idea early and save the coffee budget.

What lights me up:
- Digging through messy, unstructured data and surfacing non‑obvious opportunities.
- Translating growth metrics into plain‑English roadmaps.
- Swapping war stories with builders who still have more questions than answers.

Track record:
- Bootstrapped Adlega, now powering runway models for 1,200+ founders worldwide.
- Former CMO who turned a flat‑lining freemium app into a $2.4 M ARR engine in 18 months.
- Kellogg‑WHU EMBA (because numbers + narrative > numbers alone).

Let’s talk!
If you’re an indie hacker, accelerator grad, or curious VC who thinks discovery and finance should be equally data‑driven - DM me or join the Zaqlick waitlist 👉 zaqlick.com.
