Nile Holmes

I enjoy solving problems and building things. Not a specialist, probably a generalist.

Born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

I started my first "business" in primary school selling fancy pens during recess.

At uni I studied business and learnt how to speak in public.

During that time, I made my first money online with an Amazon FBA vitamin business, I then built a men's cosmetics company (Slap Skincare) that made ~$30K in year one.

Got bored during covid, and grew my tik tok account to 12k followers in 35 days.

I moved to London and worked in sales at Faire (YC17) and Box.

Learned a lot, played the corporate game, didn't like it.

Wasn't on the right path. Quit.

Reset.

I traveled and taught myself to code in 7 months.

Now, in Zurich.

Working 9am-4pm.

Building 4:30pm-9pm -> Less attached to specific ideas, letting the market decide.

I host events for Cursor and I meet interesting people.

Still curious, still hungry.

Interested in business, tech, history, and geography.
