UNEFA

If you've made it this far, you're likely curious as to how my background in Telecommunications engineering fits into my current business.

You see, being a tech enthusiast is an integral part of who I am. 

I have a passion for learning about innovative solutions, with a particular interest in IoT protocols and Satellite communications. I possess coding skills as well as the ability to create electronic circuits.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does this have to do with design?" 
While it may not seem related, I recognized the potential to leverage these skills in the Web3 space.

As a university professor, I often found myself teaching my students about Starlink and other technical topics. At the same time, I began freelancing and creating unique designs for clients around the world.

Despite being referred to as the "youngest teacher," I loved my job.

However, in 2018, I discovered Bitcoin and became in love with it.
One day I decided to focus all my efforts on designing for Web3 business. 

So I did.

And I won’t lie – turning my passion into a business felt incredibly good.
Web3 is the perfect match for creativity and tech.

So, how does being a "University Professor" make me a better Designer than I am today? 
1. It's easier for me to understand the technicalities of Web3.
2. I learnt how to explain complex things easily.
3. It's me being me. Authenticity rules!

I help Web3 businesses improve their brand awareness 🚀 Brand Strategist | Graphic Designer | 2D Artist | Web Designer | I’m passionate about blockchain, NFTs and the power of building decentralized communities.

Hi! If you're reading this, it's likely because:
👉 You want to turbocharge your growth.
👉 You're a designer looking to improve your skills.
👉 You are a Web3 Recruiter looking for a designer.

After years of freelancing, I saw a gap – a need for design that spoke the language of Web3.

I can effectively communicate complex design concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. I love working collaboratively with developers, product managers, and marketing teams. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a designer. 

Building in the decentralized world comes with unique challenges. You need to stand out in a crowded marketplace, foster trust with a new audience, and create interfaces that are intuitive and secure. That's where I come in.

Here's how I help you win in Web3:

✅ Web3 Marketing: Create compelling marketing materials that drive adoption and engagement.
✅ UI/UX: Design user interfaces that are not only beautiful but also intuitive.
✅ Branding: Build a strong brand identity that resonates with your audience.

Most founders spend countless hours a week creating content. Or they don't create content at all. 

I'm building CaptureFlow to fix this.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE FOUNDER'S CONTENT PROBLEM:

You know you need thought leadership.
You know content drives inbound leads.
You know your competitors are posting 5x/week.

But you're too busy actually building your company.

Meanwhile, your content graveyard grows.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE CAPTUREFLOW SOLUTION:

Stop CREATING content. Start CAPTURING it.

Turn your existing content into 20+ polished posts:
→ One 30-min video → 5 shorts + 3 carousels + 10 text posts
→ One voice memo → carousel + graphic + video
→ One document → week of LinkedIn posts

AI handles the transformation.
You spend 10 minutes reviewing.
That's it.

No blank page paralysis.
No long-hour content creation.
No choosing between building your product and building your brand.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHY CAPTUREFLOW IS DIFFERENT:

Unlike ChatGPT or generic AI tools, CaptureFlow learns YOUR voice.

It analyzes your past content, interviews, and writing style, then creates new content that sounds like YOU wrote it, not a robot.

Plus, it's built specifically for multi-platform posting:
→ LinkedIn (text, carousel, video)
→ X/Twitter (threads, tweets)
→ Instagram (reels, carousels, stories)
→ TikTok (short videos)
→ YouTube (shorts, long-form)
→ Facebook (posts, videos)

One capture session → content for every platform.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE NUMBERS:

🎯 500+ founders on the waitlist
🎯 Launching early access February 2025
🎯 Early bird pricing: $15/mo (50% off for life)
🎯 Only 100 early bird spots available

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MY STORY:

I spent 10+ years as a LinkedIn growth strategist, helping 200+ founders and consultants build their personal brands.

I saw the same pattern repeat endlessly:
→ Founders start strong, then they give up entirely, or hire expensive agencies.

The problem wasn't motivation. It was TIME.

So I built the tool I wish I'd had as a founder: CaptureFlow.

Now I'm building in public, sharing the journey, and helping founders escape the content creation grind.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BUILDING IN PUBLIC:

Follow along as I:
→ Grow from 0 to 1,000 users
→ Share revenue milestones ($0 → $10K MRR)
→ Document product decisions (what worked, what didn't)
→ Build a sustainable, founder-friendly SaaS

Transparency > perfection.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

LET'S CONNECT:

If you're a founder struggling with content creation, I'd love to hear your story.

Let's build together.

LinkedIn Top Voice for Web3 & Emerging Tech

Elected LinkedIn Top Voice for Web3 & Emerging Tech in 2024 for contribution to the Web3 community, Web3 content creation and understanding of Web3 and Emerging Tech.

I'm part of LinkedIn’s Top Voices program - an invitation-only community featuring a global group of experts on LinkedIn! 

My focus of expertise is in Community Building, Growth Marketing, Demand Generation, Content Creation, and Personal Branding for the Web3 space.

90% of founders quit posting within 2 weeks.

In 48 hours, I'm going live to show you why that's about to change.

I used to spend 1-2 hours on a single piece of content. Finding the idea. Writing the draft. Editing. Designing. Formatting for the platform. Posting.

That's 6 steps. For ONE post.

No wonder founders quit.

So I spent the last 4 months building something to fix it.

Thursday, Feb 19th at 1 PM GMT, I'm going live and showing you everything:

Part 1: Why the content creation process is fundamentally broken.

Part 2: The content foundation most founders skip entirely.

Part 3: A live demo where I take a raw idea and capture it into a week of content in under 7 minutes.

Part 4: The Capture30 Challenge, a 30-day content transformation challenge with prizes, accountability, and a community doing it together.

Part 5: Opening up CaptureFlow to everyone.

You don't need to become a full time content creator while being a founder. You just need to capture what you already know. Thursday I'll prove it.

Do you want to join?

I just soft launched CaptureFlow in public beta and here's how it went:

200 people signed up for the waitlist. 30 showed up live today.

That's a 15% show-up rate. For a product built by two guys with zero marketing budget, I'll take it as another small win!

30 people trusted us enough to show up. To give us an hour of their day. To believe that two cofounders from Poland and UK might have built something worth their time.

That's everything.

Every big company started with a small room. Every product started with a handful of people who said "I'll try it."

To those 30 people who showed up and 12 who already paid: THANK YOU. 🙏 You're the reason we keep building.

To the 170 who didn't show up, the replay is going to be sent soon! 

And to everyone reading this on LinkedIn. 

This is just day one of another chapter. I'm going to share every number, every win, every failure, every awkward moment from here on out. No filters.

And just for you to remember:

You don't need a thousand users on launch day. You need 30 people who actually care. Start there.

Keep building and showing up! 💪

CaptureFlow just hit #2 on a "top 20 fastest growing startups" list for one day...

Sounds impressive until you realize growing from $250 MRR in closed beta, to those launch numbers is how we got those 730% growth. So let's calm down.

But here's what actually happened in less than 48 hours:

- 42 users signed up
- $1,120 MRR from paying customers
- $13,440 ARR on day one
- 1 agency onboarding with 30 seats
- 21 members in the Skool community doing the Capture30 challenge
- Ranked #2 on Unicorne's Top 20 fastest growing startups （+730%）

But here's the thing:

Two days ago, this was a product only users from closed beta were using, built by two guys with no marketing budget.

Today 42 people are trusting us with their content. An agency is onboarding their entire team and first clients. And strangers on the internet just started doing a 30-day challenge we designed.

That's not a leaderboard win. That's a real win, we are proud of!

Rankings don't build companies. Customers do. But I'd be lying if I said #2 of 20 fastest growing startups by TrustMRR, didn't feel pretty good for day one!

Let's keep building.

I launched a community 20 hours before our product went live.

Just a Skool group and a 30-day challenge.

Here's the backstory:

CaptureFlow launched yesterday. 200 founders on the waitlist. 4 Months of building. And the day before I'm sitting there thinking, what happens AFTER people sign up?

Because I've seen it a hundred times. Founders buy the tool. Use it twice. Disappear.

The tool isn't the problem. The accountability is.

So instead of polishing the product for the 47th time, I spent the last 24 hours building a community from scratch.

Here's what's inside:

- A full classroom with 6 modules （adding lessons today!）
- A 30-day challenge called Capture30 with weekly webinars and office hours
- Daily standups where members check in with what they posted, who they engaged, and what they're focusing on
- Prizes for the most consistent members, including lifetime access to our product

Here's the good, bad, and ugly:

GOOD:

- People are already joining.
- The pinned posts are getting some comments.
- It slowly start to feel like a community.

BAD:

- I was creating Skool community full day before launch day instead of rehearsing my launch presentation.
- The video walkthroughs aren't recorded yet, need to add them today.
- I have no idea if daily standups are too much to ask from busy professionals.

UGLY:

- We have $340 MRR. This community is free. And I just spent 1 day building it instead of building more features and polishing the product. 

But here's the thing:

The founders I admire most didn't build audiences first. They built communities first. People who show up every day, hold each other accountable, and actually get results.

That's worth more than another feature nobody uses.

Don't just build a product people sign up for. Build a place people show up to. Every day.

Link to the community is on my profile, sign it up today!
