His standout success, Talknotes—an innovative app transforming voice notes into structured content—catapulted him into the startup stratosphere, boasting $5,000 in monthly revenue and a dedicated user base of 5,000. Join us as we dissect Nico's strategic pivot from e-commerce to tech, his disciplined approach to product development, and the sale of his first app for a whopping $65,000.
