Dmitri Mirakyan - he had nothing.. until he built a stupid simple $30k/mo app with AI

Dmitri Mirakyan started YourMove AI as a drunk joke at a party. Two and a half years later, the app hit $30K/month at 80% margins with over 1 million users—and he sold it.

In this episode of The Superwall Podcast, Dmitri breaks down the bootstrap playbook: how he turned major media coverage into an SEO machine, hired 10-12 Upwork contractors while keeping his day job, and scaled profitably by funneling his tech salary into growth experiments. Now he's building Creed, backed by a16z Speedrun.

You'll learn:

• How PR on Fox, CNBC, Wired, and WSJ didn't drive users—but built domain authority that powered SEO for 50% of traffic
• The contractor playbook: managing 10-12 Upwork freelancers working just a few hours per week each
• Why he stayed at Opendoor until $20K/month revenue, using his salary to fund experiments
• The exact moment he knew it was time to quit (spoiler: a perfectly timed layoff with severance)
