Gas App's 90-Day Win

A story about how Nikita Bier set an ambitious 90-day money-making goal and achieved it through creating the Gas app.

"I had a brain-breaking conversation with Nikita Bier. I was like 'Nikita what are you up to man? You're just sitting at Facebook, you've just been 4 years, you're just rotting away over there, what's going on?'

He goes 'Yeah, I'm thinking about for the summer how do I make $1,000,000 in 90 days.' I was like 'What?' I never even heard somebody ask a question like that. That time scale breaks all the existing answers I have.

But sure enough, that summer he created that app called Gas and I think he made $7,000,000 in revenue and then they got acquired by Discord. The son of a bitch did it. I was like 'What the hell is that?'"
