Who The F* Am I? | The Madman Behind 100 Startup Challenge
Meet Folken, a jaded software engineer building 100 startups in 100 days because corporate life is soul-crushing and AI makes it possible to actually have fun while coding again.

⚡ Who the F* Am I?
Hey. Name's Florian, but call me Folken.
The Corporate Burnout Story
I'm a software engineer who got absolutely f*cking bored and disgusted by the industry. Turns out being locked in a digital cage for 8 hours a day while some middle manager breathes down your neck isn't my idea of living the dream. Who knew?
But here's the weird part—I still get a massive kick out of building shit. There's something borderline magical about seeing what you can create with just a computer and 10 fingers (or fewer if you're sloppy with power tools).
Why This Ridiculous Challenge?
With AI finally doing something useful besides generating cat pictures or some weirdo spaghetti eating video, I figured it's the perfect time to get my hands dirty again—on my own terms. No stand-ups, no JIRA tickets, no soul-crushing meetings about meetings.
Is building 100 startups in 100 days completely insane? Absolutely. Am I doing it anyway? You bet your ass.
I'm calling this a "hobby" to keep expectations low, but between us, I'm curious if I can actually pull this off without losing what's left of my sanity.
What I'm Actually Doing
Over these 100 days, I'm:
- Slapping together simple MVPs faster than you can say "venture capital"
- Building stuff that might actually make a few bucks
- Documenting every glorious success and spectacular failure
- Showing you every damn dollar I make (or don't make)—no bullshit
The Anti-Philosophy
My approach is brutally simple: find problems, build bare-minimum solutions, ship before I overthink it. No feature bloat, no perfectionism—just functional shit that works.
Why Follow This Train Wreck?
Maybe you're another dev fantasizing about escaping the matrix. Maybe you're just here for the inevitable public meltdown around day 37. Either way, this will be more entertaining than whatever's in your Netflix queue.
Let's find out if one sleep-deprived developer with an attitude problem can actually create 100 startups in 100 days.
Cheers, Folken
