Nikita Kazhin Email and Phone Number
After being a diplomat for 6 years, I quit my job as a visa officer in May 2021 hoping to build a sustainable bootstrapped business.Then I wasted 2 years and $27k to launch my first product that no one wanted.Only in mid-2023 I realized I was staring at emptying coffers because I got it all wrong:• Picked a heavy-lift product (productivity app)• Built a bloated MVP• Launched too late• Depended on others to code my product• Did ZERO marketing except writing into the void in my productivity blog no one read (48 subscribers after 51 issues).Yeah.So after my "grand launch" failed miserably, I doubled down on my budding prompt engineering skills and learned a new way of building & shipping products:• Fast• Simple• With no code• On a shoestringI also understood the value of quickly killing a product that gets no traction.In the next 6 months, I shipped 5 products and buried 3 of them.My latest app (IndiePlans.co) took only 2 weeks and $40. All without code, design skills or industry experience.Today, my live products are:✅ Promptnik.com – high-performance prompts for AI-powered aps & services✅ IndiePlans.co – 100% personalized business plans for bootstrapped founders done by AI in under 20 minutes➕ Brick (joinbrick.co) – no-frills visual planning app for solopreneurs with actually useful AI for unrivaled speed. It's now a drastically different product compared to its disastrous launch in June 2023.These days, my wife Susanna joined me as my part-time partner and we work on new products together.

FounderPromptnik.Com Nov 2023 - PresentI built an AI-powered app (Brick), wrote 160+ megaprompts, and helped friends get theirs sorted (for free). But it never occurred to me this could be a business until someone literally asked me to take their money for a prompt.In November 2023, Alexander, my co-founder from Brick, was a freelancer mobile dev at a company that badly needed a good prompt for their image recognition feature to work properly. So Alexander suggested they ask me.I was surprised but jumped at the opportunity. I was even more surprised when I actually got paid for 2 prompts more than I made in the previous 2 years TOTAL.Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. So I now help busy founders get outstanding AI app prompts that do exactly what they want, the way they want it.

FounderMasterplan Dec 2023 - PresentIn December 2023, I needed a business plan for an upcoming app.But I still didn't recover from my 2020 fiasco when I wrote a business plan for 2 months only to toss it THE MINUTE the rubber hit the road. And I wasn't one bit enthusiastic about days of Googling to wrestle with questions I'm not qualified to answer (especially marketing).I checked out AI business plan generators online, and, naturally, they sucked big time.So I pulled my Kindle highlights from the best business books I'd read, wrote 6 big prompts, made a bunch of AIs & tools work seamlessly together and built the best AI business plan generator on the internet in 2 weeks.The tool evolved A LOT over time and now offers 100% personalized plan with deep target audience, positioning, product, marketing, risks analysis, and so much more in just 15 minutes.All to help bootstrapped founders start building a pre-validated product with the resources they already have, today. -
Co-FounderBrick Jun 2021 - PresentIn Fall 2020, I filed my 6-month notice (yep, that's a thing) to quit my job as a diplomat and start a business.But instead of planning a business, I decided to build a planning app. Clever? No.Fast forward to June 2023, I'd spent 2.5 years, $27k, and made all of the mistakes... only to arrive at a "business" making <$100 MRR. Classic.So I embarked on a journey to: a) learn to build no-code tools myself, without depending on devs; b) learn to ship fast, simple and on a shoestring; c) learn marketing (finally).Today, Brick is a drastically different app. It helps solopreneurs plan fast & simple, break down goals, visualize projects, and avoid mistakes with distraction-free UI and actually useful AI. No collaboration, notifications, heavy customization, tracking or ads.We ship updates every 2 weeks. Come on over. -
