I started my first company at 18.
Built it to ~$3.7M revenue. Exited. Moved to Jeju Island. Ran a guesthouse.
Then I got obsessed with one question: "Is the world getting more dangerous, or does it just feel that way?"
So I built something to find out.

Our system detected the Mojtaba Khamenei succession story 24.5 HOURS before Reuters, AP, and BBC.
Here's exactly how that happened. No magic. Just multi-source aggregation.
I'm not trying to beat Reuters at journalism.
Aggregate regional + Telegram sources with wire services → more complete picture, faster.
That's the thesis.

March 4, 2026, ~22:00 UTC.
Al Jazeera: "Iran's wartime succession: What direction after Khamenei?"
BBC: "Leaving leadership in the hands of temporary council..."
24.5 hours after our first signal.
Here's the entire tech stack behind a platform that monitors 195 countries in real-time.
Solo dev. No team. $0 VC.
Let me walk you through every piece.

"How much should I care about this crisis?"
I built an algorithm to answer that.
It's called KScore. It personalizes every global event to YOUR country.
Same missile test:
→ Seoul: 8.5
→ Berlin: 3.2
→ Nairobi: 1.8
How it works ↓
Real case: March 2026 Iran crisis.
We detected it 24.5 HOURS before Reuters/AP/BBC.
How? Regional media reports faster. We scan 200+ sources every 5 min.
The algorithm connects the dots humans miss.
@coscosmico Good question. Main bottleneck is AI normalization cost — 200+ sources × 5min cycles × GPT calls adds up fast. Batching and caching helped a lot.
Next challenge: scaling sources without scaling the bill 😅
@Jmark_who@coscosmico Guilty as charged 🫠 Classic "ship features first, sell later" syndrome.
It's on the list. Right after I finish one more backend feature... and one more... and—
Total cost breakdown (monthly):
- Railway: ~$30-50
- Supabase: ~$25
- OpenAI API: ~$40-80
- Firebase: free tier
- Domain: $12/yr
Building a global monitoring platform for under $150/mo.
The exit money buys me time to do it right.
