Solo Founder Studio

I build products and validate them before writing code.

Ads-first validation. AI-powered development. Ship in days, not months. If people won't pay for it, I don't build it.

2 Live products
$0 VC funding
100% AI-assisted code

Currently running fake door tests. If the ads convert, I build it. If not, I move on. No wasted code.

Building in public, shipping fast

I'm a solo founder based in Montreal. I got tired of building products nobody wanted, so I flipped the script: validate first, build second.

My process: Run ads to a landing page. If people try to buy, I build it. If not, I saved myself months of wasted work. Every line of code is written with AI assistance - Claude, Cursor, and whatever ships fastest.

No investors. No employees. No meetings. Just products, ads, and iteration.

Thesis

03

Most founders build for months before learning nobody wants their product. I refuse to write code for ideas that haven't been validated with real money.

The playbook: fake door test with paid ads, capture intent, build only what converts. AI makes development so fast that validation is now the bottleneck, not engineering.

Technology is leverage. Ads are truth serum. Ship or die.
