Timeline
First self-made dollar
Sold used graphical calculators to college students. Profitable but couldn't scale
First exposure to startups
Founding team of a Student VC firm in my uni. Got super passionate
First line of code
Wanted to be a builder instead of a financier. Left my job to learn code
First dollar in tech
Did whatever I could to survive - taught uni students how to code, hired for freelancing projects, built full stack projects for a cheap price to build my portfolio & experience
First (few) tech startups
Got too excited once I could ship products. Burned $150k+. All failed. Learned a ton tho
Launched Sigma School
Split with my previous business partner. Did my own thing. Launched Sigma School with only 1 community-based course on full stack web development. Did my first $100k online, fully automated by digital marketing funnels, without needing me to speak to anyone. Really game changer & turning point in my life
Pivoted to bootcamp model
Pivoted to the coding bootcamp model. With a brand new pitch. 3 month bootcamp. Get a job, or it's 100% free. Got an office, led a team of 15, Worked on tech consulting & software projects for cash flow.
Business stabilization
Stabilise the business model. Focused on people, product, & process so the company could run on its own without my active involvement. Didn't really achieve it. But much closer to it. Hit my first USD80k/month. Launched Codeo.ai with my brother - The mobile app to self learn coding.
Future focus
Exploring the future of education and work. Launching 3 new courses - Full stack web dev with AI, data analytics with AI, digital marketing with AI. Finding more partners. Going deep into AI, Web3 & media this year.
