From running Facebook ads to building SaaS for creators | One platform to replace five tools | Sharing the real journey — the ugly parts too

[Shiva Poojar @I_m_shivakumar]

For a long time, I was behind the scenes.

Running traffic.
Playing with margins.
Optimizing funnels.

It worked.

But at some point you stop asking

“How do I make this work better?”
And start asking

“What should I build myself?”

So that’s what I’m doing.

Building an all-in-one creator monetization platform.

And I’m doing it in public.

Let’s see where this goes.

@xinhash @vikpai @ReferRush Would love a detailed breakdown of this the escrow approval process is a black box for most founders

@letsgomahima Very real tbh.
realized lately, how fragmented the influencer space still is behind the scenes 😅

A lot more infra/data/ops heavy than people think

[Shiva Poojar @I_m_shivakumar]

We're building a creator marketplace. Not a dashboard, not a widget. A full system where creators connect directly with ad demand, set their terms, and actually get paid well for the audiences they've spent years building. The way this works today is broken. We're fixing it.

@kalashvasaniya Working on something crazy around creators - probably this will chnage the way creators make money forever..

[Shiva Poojar @I_m_shivakumar]

Oh Boy!

[Shiva Poojar @I_m_shivakumar]

the hardest part of building a creator marketplace isn't the tech.
It's the cold start problem.
Brands won't come without creators. Creators won't come without brands.

Either this isn’t “normal” dropshipping… or everyone else is doing it wrong.

This is insane

A man alone built a $1.8B company in months using AI

- Matthew Gallagher
- founder of Medvi
- based in LA
- self-taught programmer

before this

- builds websites
- experiments with online businesses
- fails multiple times

then AI arrives

- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok for code and text
- Midjourney, Runway for visuals
- he uses everything

Medvi begins

- telemedicine platform
- focused on weight loss drugs (GLP-1)
- built in 2 months

starting capital is $20,000

first traction

- 300 customers in month 1
+1,000 customers in month 2

growth explodes

2025

- $401M in revenue
- first full year

2026

- projected $1.8B revenue
- 500,000+ patients

team

- basically just him
- plus his younger brother
- minimal contractors

how it runs

- AI writes the code
- AI creates the ads
- AI handles support
- AI analyzes performance

he still oversees everything, fixes chatbot mistakes and manages marketing decisions

today

- generating millions personally
- donating to charity
- planning foundation for homeless youth

what this proves

you don’t need a big team anymore
you don’t need huge capital

AI removed the barrier

the man who scaled faster than anyone expected
