I JUST SOLD MY COMPANY AT 16 YEARS OLD
words can not describe how i feel rn
we exited for 7-figures. virality did $3M+ in revenue in 10 months, fully bootstrapped
this is the full story of how it all started and ended, but first I need to be honest:
my name isn’t alex, its yanal. as of today i’m one of the youngest self made millionaires in the world
but it wasn’t like this a few years ago. when i was 14 i realized i wanted to build something awesome (and make a lot of money doing so)
i found my cofounder Ivelin because one of his affiliates was posting on TikTok about a make money server. i joined as a regular member, nothing special. when he reopened the affiliate program I jumped in and my first video did 3M views.
that got me promoted to manager. a while later I pitched him on starting a clipping agency together. that agency became Virality.
we met Matt on discord around the time he got a job offer at Whop to be their head of clipping
i told him not to go, and to start Virality with me. he said yes
we’re three teenagers who met on the internet, zero funding, zero connections. and in under a year we built something worth acquiring.
and it has been the most FUN time of my life
we’ve been on the wall street journal, got in contact with the whitehouse, ran content for BILLIONAIRES, pissed off tjr, worked with tjr, have made todays news dozens of times, and our content has been seen by 300B+ people
Virality is in great hands with .@ninja_reach and will keep helping creators and brands win.
as for us, we're going all in on Content Rewards, the platform Virality itself runs on. we built one agency on top of it. now we're building what every agency in this space runs on.
shoutouts to my cofounders, close friends and partners:
@waliet took a shot on a random affiliate with one viral video and let me pitch him a whole company. mentored me from day one. nobody understands this industry like him.
@organicbond could've been our biggest competitor. Instead he became the best CGO I know and the hardest worker on the team.
@facelessfarms for being our head director and one of the best marketers i’ve ever worked with. this guy is amazing.
@danvsi for picking us up to build content rewards with him. none of this would be possible without his influence
@itspairaw for helping us with our twitter content early on and later on during the transition. hands down the best marketer on twitter.
and most importantly: thank ALL of you for following me and supporting me
stay in touch, content rewards has some massive updates coming soon
and i can NOT wait to share them with you
