Hi there. I'm jack. Currently working on a resume project.
I major in CS. When it comes to 2019 I went work in a SaaS company which provide CRMs. And 2023 everything changed. We all know gpt came out. So there are many layoffs there. However it is not hard and didn't affect me but it changed my mind. In 2025 I decided to give up my PM job and go for a start_up. Not a SaaS company but a small company provide industry level-AI implement solutions. I suddenly found I can develop almost everything with claude code.(Only build process.I leart cpp py and js in the university) So I finally go for my start up. Thanks there for you guys. I believe in 3 yrs later start_up will be a more popular trend.

How I spent ten years on 18 projects to understand the fundamental rule of startups
My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed:
1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed.
2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
