i'm just a guy that loves creating things for others.
i started my first company at 13 when i sold "dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 2" for the ps2 on ebay. eventually, turned it a biz where i sold blank dvds and t-shirts (lol).
got it to $100K in rev by 15, and have been making stuff ever since.
most recently, i was the founder of buildspace — it was the largest group of people in the world making cool shit from youtube videos to edm music to companies.
raised from yc, a16z, finc, all that good stuff. worked on it for five years. but, company ended up closing. here's a letter i wrote about it.
the company is now gone, but, hey — here's a video to get the vibe we had if you're curious.
did a bunch of stuff before. shipped multiple products in gaming to 1m+ users, trained my own open-source deep learning models for games still being used today, founded an online elementary school with 100,000 students in 2019.
also spent like 5 years just making short films and vlogs but i dont wanna show you those rn lol.
i like to write about my learnings building stuff usually 1-2 times per month. if you want these in your inbox, drop your email below.
p.s: if you wanna contact me ping farza@buildspace.so, i generally respond to every single email under 300 characters with a clear ask.
