Why I started From Zero to Stack
Hi, I’m Zoli, a 17 y/o solopreneur building my first tech business from scratch.
On Substack, I document my journey with full transparency. I believe that the honest, behind-the-scenes content is more valuable than the “I know everything“ guru style.
The origin story
Believe it or not, despite being 17, I already failed 4 business ideas. (Yep, you didn’t read that wrong.) These failures taught me a lot and set the stage for this new journey, which began in June 2025.
I wanted to share my journey to inspire and help others, while also keeping myself accountable. After I found it, Substack became the obvious choice.
My mission
My goal is to bring something new to the world of productivity. In business, I plan to develop lightweight tools that offer a fresh perspective on productivity, using my coding background.
Here, I share my week-to-week progression and valuable lessons packed into stories to inspire you to make a positive impact on the world as well.
What you’ll get here
You can expect a weekly mix of:
Honest updates from a starter solopreneur
Guides based on my real-world experiences, you can apply
Valuable lessons packed into true stories

The bigger picture
I started this Substack to prove to you that
You don’t need permission, funding, or perfect timing to start living your dreams and achieve something real. You just need to start, and stay.
If you’re curious about business, self-development, or tech, and you value honesty over hype, you’ll feel at home.
Stick around, and if you feel like it, share your own story in the comments!
I’d love to hear it.
