Founder projects & experiments

Working sessions that grow into products, labs, and venture-scale bets.

Bootstrap-first ventures I'm shaping into investable companies. Each has live product, measurable traction, and a clear plan for how outside capital compounds the next chapter.

Memoato

The personal operating system that organises itself.

Personal operating system that listens to your voice, messages, and apps, then organises everything into actionable dashboards without you babysitting a dozen tools.

In Build

Focus

Operators, founders, and parents juggle 6-10 fragmented apps to track health, finances, tasks, and notes. The admin work steals time, the data never lines up, and progress gets lost in inboxes.

Traction

Web beta live with 280-person waitlist, 60 active testers logging 1.5K entries/week, and first revenue through tailored coaching pilots. Bootstrapped to date.

XXI Today

The front page of Bitcoin for the next 21 million users.

Bitcoin's intelligence layer: one destination for education, analytics, milestone tracking, and professional-grade data APIs.

Exploration

Focus

Bitcoin knowledge is scattered across forums, explorers, newsletters, and Telegram groups. Newcomers churn, professionals spend hours aggregating, and institutions lack a single source of truth.

Traction

Alpha live with 1.2K newsletter subscribers, 8 corporate pilots reviewing the API, and partnerships in progress with two Croatian exchanges. Bootstrapped to date.

PLAYGRND

Book a pitch, form a squad, get the stats.

Grassroots football OS for organising games, tracking players, and helping venues monetise community leagues.

Exploration

Focus

Street football is coordinated through messy WhatsApp groups. Players can't track progress, venues lose money on empty slots, and communities lack professional tools.

Traction

Product design complete, venue partnerships LOIs signed in Croatia, and 400 players pre-registered for beta leagues. Bootstrapped to date.

Apes Club

The smart launchpad for speculative markets.

Compliance-aware meme coin launchpad with analytics, KYC'd creator tiers, and community governance on Solana.

Exploration

Focus

Pump.fun channels $100M+ daily but offers zero safety rails-rug pulls, repeat scammers, and zero data. Traders want the upside without blind risk.

Traction

Analytics prototype live ingesting 4TB/day, early conversations with two licensed VASPs, and 50+ high-volume traders in private Discord. Bootstrapped to date.

Founder Portfolio

A technical founder's operating room-public by default.

Living proof-of-work portfolio with real-time analytics, growth experiments, and investor memos under one roof.

In Market

Focus

Developers and founders need more than generic templates to win trust. Static portfolios undersell craft, give no telemetry, and fail to convert serious opportunities.

Traction

15K+ monthly visitors, direct client acquisition channel, and sandbox for shipping the experiments documented on this page. Bootstrapped to date.

HILLS Lab

Decoding tomorrow for teams that have to ship today.

Independent R&D studio delivering applied AI, blockchain, and commerce systems for EU companies that need more than slide decks.

In Build

Focus

Mid-market companies want AI/blockchain leverage but don't trust vendors who've never run production systems. They need partners who design, build, and operate in one loop.

Traction

Signed lighthouse engagements in commerce and blockchain, plus inbound pipeline from ReneVerse, Tilt partners, and Croatian enterprise network. Bootstrapped to date.
