Founder & CEOJan 2023 — July 2023
Thinkystorm
A solo-founded tech startup taken from idea to shipped MVP — and then deliberately shut down.
Problem
An unproven idea with no team, no product and no validation — everything from architecture to go-to-market had to be owned by one person.
Approach
- Built the product from zero as a solo founder — idea, product, architecture and everything in between.
- Shipped a working MVP and put it in front of real users.
- Read the numbers honestly at the six-month mark rather than continuing on sunk cost.
Solution
Shipped 0 → 1 solo, then made the call to shut it down — a decision that taught more about product-market fit, ruthless prioritization and knowing when to pivot than a success would have.
Impact
- 6 months
- Idea → sunset
- 0 → 1
- MVP shipped solo
