How She Scaled to 7M+ Installs on Google Play as an Indie Developer

In this episode, we’re joined by Fatemeh Vahdatpour, a solo female founder who scaled her Android utility apps to over 7 million installs, 2 million active users, and generated $200K+ in revenue using only ASO, AdMob, and some Google Ads, no subscriptions, no outside funding.

Fatemeh has launched four successful startups from scratch and now runs her app business from Dubai, where she’s building AI-powered apps in a fast-paced, tax-friendly startup hub.

She’ll reveal her exact Google Ads & ASO playbook for scaling utility apps on a budget, what most indie devs get wrong about Android growth, and how she uses lean AI workflows to launch and iterate faster than the competition.

We also explore her journey as a solo female app founder and how she’s built a life of freedom, travel, and growth, all powered by apps.

✅ How to scale an Android app using Google Ads and ASO

✅ Why most indie developers fail with Google Ads and how to fix it

✅ How to launch AI-powered apps without a big team
