Adam M
London, UK
Online since 1995, I'm a product manager at heart, now four decades into exploring communications technology. Currently focused on modern web stacks, tinkering with WordPress and Laravel via AI-assisted development, and whatever catches my curiosity. Been through a few exits, now free to build for learning rather than for scaling. I enjoy applying curiosity to what users actually need and defining solutions that work. I understand both the technical and business sides of online ventures, from developer APIs to international partnerships to the unglamorous work that actually makes money. Always interested in connecting with fellow builders, especially those who've been through similar journeys and have experienced the freedom that comes after. Whether you're exploring new ideas, considering investments in small tech businesses, or just want to discuss product approaches that actually work.
ExpressTrack: Universal Package Tracking API
🏗️ Building...A pivot from consumer package tracking to developer-focused SaaS. Building a unified REST API that normalizes tracking data from dozens of global couriers into consistent status codes and webhooks. Started as a consumer tracking site but realized the real value was solving the integration headache for developers dealing with inconsistent carrier APIs. Currently rebuilding the entire platform around developer experience - clean documentation, predictable responses, and reliable webhook delivery. Teaching me about product pivots, developer marketing, and the challenge of transforming existing assets into new business models.

Interfax: API-Focused Enterprise Fax Services
💰 AcquiredAn API-based fax service that became the #1 Google result for developer fax solutions. Built secure, scalable enterprise fax technology serving customers worldwide through REST and SOAP APIs. Managed a global dealer network and developed extensive experience in developer relations and online promotion. The business grew to become the go-to solution for enterprises needing programmatic fax capabilities. Successfully exited. Got to experience developer marketing, international partnerships, and building technical products that developers actually want to use.
SellMyApp: Digital Marketplace for App Source Codes
💰 AcquiredInvestor and finance manager in a marketplace for app source codes and project reskins. The platform served the global app development community with millions in sales across thousands of projects. Developers could buy and sell ready-made app templates, saving time on common functionality while monetizing their code libraries. Successfully exited once the platform had established itself as a trusted name in the developer ecosystem. Taught me about two-sided marketplaces, the economics of digital asset trading, and how niche developer communities can in aggregate be interesting businesses.
Postalmethods: Online Print & Mail Services
💰 AcquiredAn online print and mail service with the tagline "You mail it, we post it." Turned digital documents into physical letters through API integration, email-to-mail, and HIPAA-compliant printing for healthcare, legal, and business clients. The business served a wide range of clients - from solo practitioners to enterprise - who needed to bridge the digital-physical gap. Successfully exited after several years, though not at life-changing scale. Taught me the value of unglamorous but essential business services, how regulatory compliance can become a competitive moat, and how a truly detail-oriented product manager can dramatically improve product development through obsessive attention to edge cases.
Betegy.com: Automated Sports Banner Creation Platform
DiscontinuedAn investment in a creative management platform for sports betting and iGaming. They built automated banner creation, campaign management, and multi-market localization for gambling operators. Despite solid product-market fit and impressive client roster including Tipico and Sportsbet, I learned the hard way that what was under the hood wasn't exactly what appeared on the outside. Taught me to dig much deeper into technical architecture during due diligence and question assumptions about sustainable unit economics versus perpetual fundraising.
