Market Position

Affistash differentiated itself by searching the broader internet and using AI for affiliate discovery and recruitment; The Brains differentiates from generic chatbots and unstructured archives by providing curated, searchable MCP knowledge bases with citations.
Leadership
Founders
Vic Giurgiu
Started building SaaS at about 14–15; began with freelance game-development work at 13, then ran the Developmently software agency/studio and launched multiple SaaS products. He is described as a teen founder who sold Affistash and PodKit and is currently CTO at Listener.
Founding Story
Vic says his life changed at 13 after earning $75 from a game-development gig. He subsequently moved from freelancing into a software agency with friends, converted that agency into a product studio, and pursued a build, scale, and exit model: validate real market needs, launch MVPs, grow products, and sell successful ones.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Vic's portfolio uses SaaS subscriptions and paid software products, alongside software-development/studio work. The Brains offers free MCP access with email-code authentication, while individual SaaS products used trials, subscriptions, and/or paid plans.
