Ricardo Bruggemann

hey, im Ricardo. originally from brazil, living in the UK now. 20 years building saas, mostly healthcare and logistics tools back in brazil. behind the scenes work, solving technical problems for other peoples businesses.

ive shipped a few products of my own over the years. they made money. never quite enough though. same pattern every time, build the thing, get some early users, watch growth flatten, eventually move on to the next idea. this time i actually want to crack the part that broke every previous attempt.

wudtr is what me and my brother are building now. its an all-in-one for creators selling digital products and running paid communties, so they dont have to pay for 5 different tools and manually keep them in sync. the building part is going fine. growth is the wall were staring at.

here to share what were working on but mostly here to learn from people who've been through this. if you've taken a product from "makes some money" to "actually growing", id love to hear what changed for you.

Last summer, the idea for my SaaS, Xolora, started to take shape. Around the same time, the concept of vibe coding was blowing up. As a non-technical founder, it sounded like a dream come true. No coding experience? No problem, just let AI handle it.

The beginning was incredibly promising. Using Emergent made me feel unstoppable. I was seeing my idea come to life.
