Description

In just 6 days, Mari transformed from VC to founder by "vibe coding" her first SaaS product, PitchKit - proving that speed and intuition can trump traditional startup methodologies.

Key insights from her remarkable journey:

đŸ”¹ Embrace the "fast fashion" of software: Build quickly, ship rapidly, monetize, then move on 

đŸ”¹ Coding isn't about perfection - it's about momentum and learning 

đŸ”¹ Domain expertise matters, but curiosity matters more 

đŸ”¹ Build in public, stay authentic, and don't fear negative feedback

Her approach challenges traditional startup wisdom: No elaborate plans, just pure execution and rapid iteration.

The tech world is changing, and creators like Mari are leading the charge. 

If you are a founder, try Pitchkit, it's the only tool built like a VC thinks. https://pitchkit.net/
