Abstract

In this talk, I explain how I scaled my app “one sec” from 1 user to 1 Million hourly active users in the past 5 years. And all that without any investor money or loans.

What started as an experiment for myself, became a $150k MRR project over the years – helping millions of users save thousands of years from scrolling *every single week*.

How did I get there?

I will show you my strategies and how I took advantage of being indie to marketize my project to a broader audience.

Frederik Riedel, Founder @ riedel.wtf GmbH

Frederik developed his first app with 15 years and founded his own company shortly after. Because of his outstanding talent he not only received one of the famous Apple scholarships but also attended the keynote in San Francisco already seven times. You might ask - what else do you want from life when you are a teenager? A lot more, if you are Frederik! Even though the now 30 year old Berliner is hitting the iTunes Charts frequently with his ideas and gets flooded with job opportunities at the worlds hottest tech companies, he has his own definition of success. And this one is not related to money. The young genius follows his own vision: making use of his special skills to have an impact on our society to make the world a better place.
