Alex - Founder of Boltjobs
Hi, I'm Connor. I help founders build their MVPs.
I'm known for starting Unicorn Factory, New Zealand's largest freelancer marketplace, and my YouTube channel where I teach people to build online businesses with no-code tools. I live in Ottawa, Canada, where I build small internet businesses, create content, and am currently training for my first marathon. My journey began right out of university, and despite early setbacks, I found success through no-code tools and a passion for helping others launch their ventures.
