The Journey

The Story

From a factory floor in northern Israel to three exits before 28.

The Beginning

The Dream

While other kids dreamed of being astronauts, I only ever wanted one thing: to be a millionaire. That wasn’t ambition talking. It was identity.

The Dream
2019–2021

The Grind

After three years in the IDF, I bounced between night shifts at a gas station, waitering, and coaching people with autism. Then came six months in a factory in northern Israel. Sixteen-hour days that felt like modern slavery. I knew I was meant for more.

The Hard Lesson

During the pandemic, an influencer I admired appeared in my hometown. I tracked down his house on my 5 AM runs, desperate to join what he was building. He let me in, unpaid. I worked sixteen-hour days for a year, recruited sixteen editors, and built his media company from scratch. He never paid a single person. Thirty people on staff, zero payroll. My entrepreneurial education started with learning exactly what not to do.

Building From Zero

With my co-founder Or Hakim, I started Perspective, a video production company built from our parents’ living rooms. We launched Hakol Podcast, which grew to 500+ episodes and millions of listeners. Two years of sixteen-hour days, no salary, investing every shekel we had.

The Breakthrough

We sold 50% of Perspective for 1M NIS to Leos Media. KAN 11 ran a feature about us on national TV. Six months later, I built Kaps, a SaaS product that hit $10K MRR one month after launch and 100K NIS MRR within six months, running almost entirely on autopilot. That was the moment I understood: smart systems beat hard work.

The Reset

October 7th changed everything. I spent four months in military service, unable to work on anything. When I came back, I sold both businesses. Perspective in January, Kaps in March. I needed a clean slate.

SaaS & nCode

Five SaaS products in one year. I took everything I learned and built nCode, now Israel’s largest vibe-coding institute with 500+ students. We teach people to build micro-SaaS products using AI, replacing hard work with smart systems. Recently sold 50% to scale it further.

Success Stories

What They Say

Real results from real students and partners.

I had zero coding knowledge. Through nCode I built my first app and closed a six-figure annual deal within six months — three years later, six figures every year. A year and a half later, I sold my first SaaS app.

Avia Rozenheim

nCode Student, Age 17

My first app failed. My second app failed. I left the program, went to get a degree, realized it wasn’t for me, and came back. On my third try, after three months of building, I landed 500 paying customers with recurring revenue.

Liran Shemesh

nCode Student → 500 Paying Customers

I came in with no idea, no knowledge, and plenty of fear. Within three months I went from zero to a live app on the App Store and Google Play — with my first paying customer.
