i am building pleep. it runs the whole go-to-market motion, from finding the lead to closing the sale. 100+ b2b customers across 17 countries, growing 30% month over month, with a team of 5. i closed tele2/altel, one of kazakhstan's national telcos, when i was 18.

it started at 14. i was a competitive fortnite player, and the youtube channel i opened that year was fortnite tutorials before it was anything else. it turned into dev tools and ai (i filmed the first cursor review in kazakhstan), and it was the first money i ever made online.

i learned to code the same year. a year later a us startup hired me. i spent a year and a half there and touched ml for the first time, training a simple linear regression model.

i was running my own thing at the same time: jumify, a marketplace matching early-stage startups with students who had no experience yet. one university, 100+ students, and then i shut it down. months of failing to scale the supply side taught me how brutal founder-led sales is when the product does not sell itself. that is the reason pleep sells.

i raised $100k at 17¹, from impala partners. no one in kazakhstan had raised that much that young before. then i got into duke kunshan and left after one semester to do this full-time.
