PRODUCT–FOUNDER FIT
Sergiu built AI Directories out of his own marketing pain. In 2023, while building several AI tools, he struggled with traffic/SEO and found that submitting to many AI directories worked—so he curated and productized the process. He’s a developer/entrepreneur, giving him the skills to ship the platform and its tooling.
