Victor In Public

building a $1M startup in public

I don’t have the most extraordinary story, but it has definitely been a chaotic one.

From the age of 15 to 18, I played Fortnite competitively. I repeated my final year of high school and dropped out of university twice. For a long time, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

Then I discovered programming, and I found the same excitement, obsession, and desire to improve that I used to feel when playing video games.

During my first two years working as a software developer, I balanced my 9-to-5 job with building apps and SaaS products. I worked during the day and built my own projects at night and on weekends, until I eventually managed to escape the 9-to-5 and start making a living online.

Now, I’m building TrainUp: a copilot for online fitness coaches and a gym app that aims to change the way people train, progress, and compete.
