How He Scaled His App Portfolio to $868K ARR (as a Solo Founder)

How He Scaled His App Portfolio to $868K ARR (as a Solo Founder)

In this episode, we’re joined once again by Alim Charaniya — 4x founder, former Head of Mobile at PrizePicks, and now the brains behind Ambitious Labs.

Last time, Alim shared how he builds and validates profitable indie apps. This time, he’s back with something even bigger — how he scaled his app portfolio to $868K without a big team or massive funding.

We’ll dive into how he’s mastered the art of influencer-driven growth, why he spends 80% of his time on marketing and only 20% on development, and how simplicity has become his secret weapon. You’ll also hear how he applies the science of pricing to boost conversions, and why focusing on making one feature exceptional can outperform adding dozens of mediocre ones.

You will discover:

✅ The strategy behind scaling an app portfolio to $868K

✅ How to build powerful influencer partnerships that drive authentic growth

✅ The philosophy of “simple is more” and how it fuels sustainable growth

✅ The pricing science behind turning users into loyal, paying customers
