FOUNDERS

Tibo
Skills: growth, SEO, product, distribution

Built Tweet Hunter and Taplio (sold $8m). Publicly states Outrank is 100% bootstrapped and shares SEO/growth playbooks while running multiple SaaS.

Eugene Zolotarenko
Skills: front-end development, AI-assisted coding (Cursor, Claude Code), SEO automation

Front-end developer turned indie founder; built Outrank v1 in ~3 months with no investors; quit 9‑to‑5 in April 2025; previously worked various jobs (cashier/waiter), self‑learned coding in 2018, first tech job in 2019; lives in Poland and dealt with residence permit bureaucracy.

PRODUCT–FOUNDER FIT

Tibo is "obsessed with SEO" and previously grew products via AI blog posts (which led him to build Outrank). Eugene rapidly shipped v1, pivoted from ContentPie at $300 MRR, and dogfoods Outrank across his projects (e.g., Documind), aligning their skills and insights with an automated SEO + backlinks product.
