Hi, I'm Kartik. I've built all kinds of things.
• Marketplace nobody used
• SaaS that never found its market
• Tools that solved problems nobody had
And this is the first time I'm telling the full story.
I grew up in India obsessed with how software worked. Not as a user. As a builder. I wanted to know what was underneath everything.
So I started building. Badly. But I started.
That photo up there is me 6 years ago - whiteboard full of ideas, zero users, zero revenue. Just conviction that something would eventually work.
The first few products didn't.
Each one taught me something. But none of them shipped into something real. Something a business actually runs on.
Then I met Prince.
We started talking about the same problem from different angles. He's the best engineer I know. I understood the business side. Together we kept asking the same question:
Why is it so hard for a real business to get real software built?
Agencies were too slow and too expensive. Vibe coding tools kept breaking. There was nothing in between.
So we built the thing in between.
That's Creatr.
We just raised $1.2M. We've built software for 40 businesses across the UK, Philippines, Israel, Dubai and more.
But I still think about that whiteboard.
Because nothing about this was obvious.
It was just two people who refused to stop building.
This account is where I share everything going forward. The builds, the clients, the lessons, and the honest truth about what's working and what isn't.
If you're building something, follow along.
