Self-taught coder's AI startup hits $50K monthly in just six weeks

Vitalii Dodonov, a self-taught coder and former Deloitte employee, has built a career in tech by launching successful startups. His latest AI tool, Stanley, reached $50,000 in monthly revenue in just six weeks. The rapid success follows years of experience in software and entrepreneurship. Dodonov first studied chemical engineering at the University of Alberta in 2014. While there, he taught himself to code and began working on side projects, including an app called Vhinny. His early work led to a position at Deloitte, where he started his professional career.

By May 2020, he had moved to eBay as a senior software engineer. Later, he co-founded Stan, an all-in-one platform helping creators sell digital products. The company now generates tens of millions in annual revenue.

In a recent push, Dodonov and his co-founders developed Stanley, an AI tool designed to act as a 'Head of Content'. Built in just 14 days, the product quickly gained traction. Within six weeks of launch, it was bringing in $50,000 per month in recurring revenue. Stanley’s rapid growth highlights Dodonov’s ability to turn ideas into profitable ventures. The AI tool’s early success adds to his track record of building scalable tech solutions. His journey from self-taught programmer to startup founder continues to evolve.
