I'm new to X and most of you don't know me so I'm here to change that. I'm 24, live in Dubai and run Clipster, a marketplace where brands pay creators for organic views. I scaled my app to 150K sign-ups and $3.5M ARR in 15 months. So far we've paid $7.5M creators and generated 150B+ views for brands. Here's the short version of how I got here: I grew up as an immigrant kid in a small town in Germany and had to rely on government support to afford school books. I started building faceless Instagram accounts in high school when I was 17. While everyone else was studying for exams, I would skip classes to work on my Instagram pages. That's how desperate I was. As soon as I made enough, I dropped out at 18 and it turned out to be the best decision of my life. I scaled my faceless channels to over 10 million followers posting gaming clips on TikTok and Instagram. Then I built a 7-fig music marketing agency running campaigns for Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, and 100+ more artists. Running that agency is where I saw what was broken in the space: Creators scamming brands, brands scamming creators, viewbotting, manual and late payments. So I built the fix. Clipster It started as a Discord bot. Literally just a bot where creators submitted clips. Today it's an app where 140K+ creators have made close to $10M. We just hit our first $1M+ month in May. On track for $2M in June. Next target: $10M months. Watch me.
