Hi, I’m Hari Kumaran — creator, builder of Bogar AI, and host of THUS.

My actual track record after 4 years of building:

4 failed products. 1 acquired. 1 took off.

Success rate: 25%

The difference between "serial entrepreneur" and "failed founder" is just one lucky swing

The math doesn't require you to be right most of the time. You have to be right only ONCE

Founder @ Famewall.io - Helping businesses collect & showcase testimonials that convert | 400+ customers

i was lethargic for too long 

took a few months off for travel 

now i set the goal to grow Famewall to $15k MRR 

it's quite aggressive with my current pricing 

but what i'm going to do different 
- cold outreach on Linkedin to close higher tiers 
- partnerships 

hope to see how this goes. will share the results

I replaced a $5,000 video agency with an AI tool I built.

Paste a website URL. Get a full cinematic story-driven video ad.

No camera. No editor.

Tool is live at novabrand .ai

I think there's a problem with AI generated UGC ads

Yes for a business, it's cool that you get AI avatars talking like they used the product & give a good review

But think from the customer's perspective

Are they really going to be happy when they learn that the review was AI?

i built 4 SaaS products on nearly $0

free tiers. open source & bootstrapped everything

then i launched NovabrandAI

$50 in AI inference costs in 5 days 😅 

for the first time, I'm watching money disappear while I sleep

either way i'll keep trying to get my first customer :)

Building an ecommerce product while having a SaaS founder audience

Everyone warned me against it. "You're throwing away your distribution." "Build for your followers"

They might be right. I might be making a mistake.

But building just for my current audience could feel like locking myself into whoever I was when I got lucky.

Like I'd be optimizing for a past version of myself just because that's where the easy path is.

But I prefer to be optimistic & wrong than being pessimistic & right.

I genuinely don't know. But will share everything in public.

SaaS is a strange game.

You can have 0 paying customers for a year. 

Not because the idea is bad, but because positioning & marketing aren't in place yet.

Fix those two things, and customers start coming.

The catch? You'll likely quit before you get there. 

The window between "nothing's working" and "it's working" is brutal to sit in.

Most don't make it through that window. That's why there's room for the ones who do.
