Artis Uļjanovs
I build businesses, software and growth systems.
Not because I enjoy having ten projects. Because I keep seeing problems that are worth solving.
A Few Numbers That Actually Mean Something
I do not care much about titles. Numbers are more useful. These are the ones that actually mean something to me.
10+ years
Building websites, businesses and software.
Started in 2014. Still doing it.
3 sold
Mini Sweets, Excellent Shine and Clean It Now.
Built them. Ran them. Sold them.
6 figures
Built in a cleaning business before selling it.
The useful part was learning how quickly operations can become the real problem.
€20,000+
Spent on my own Google Ads. Different mindset when it is your own money.
150,000+
Monthly Google search impressions reached on one of my own projects through SEO.
10+ businesses
Some worked. Some did not. All taught me something useful.
About Me
I never had one clean career. I started building websites in 2014. Then freelancing turned into businesses. Businesses turned into operations. Operations turned into marketplaces. Marketplaces turned into SaaS. Looking back it almost looks planned. It wasn’t.
Developer
PHP, Laravel, WordPress, integrations, automation and product development.
Founder
I have started more businesses than fit neatly on one page. Three were sold.
Problem Solver
I usually start with one question: why is this happening?
I like understanding why things do or do not work. Why are service businesses drowning in WhatsApp? Why do good companies struggle to get customers? Why do websites get traffic but no enquiries?
Most of what I have built started because I could not stop asking questions like that. I have built food manufacturing, cleaning companies, websites, service marketplaces and SaaS. Some ideas went nowhere. Some lasted years. Today I am focused on Klusaro, FixThatNow and Growth.
What I’m Building Now
Three active projects. Different angle each time, but all around the same thing: helping service businesses get customers, organise work and grow without unnecessary chaos.
Klusaro
Running a service business should not require six different tools. Customers. Jobs. Quotes. Invoices. Forms. Documents. Automations. One system. That idea became Klusaro.
FixThatNow
Finding the right service provider sounds easy. Until you actually build the marketplace. FixThatNow connects customers with local professionals in the Netherlands and Belgium, with more countries planned.
Growth
Most businesses do not need another beautiful website. They need a website that actually brings customers. Growth is where I put the practical side together: websites, SEO, Google Ads, analytics and conversion.
What I’ve Built Before
Not everything I am proud of is still running. Some businesses did their job, taught me what they had to teach me, and ended.
Three businesses I built
were eventually sold.
Different industries. Different problems. Same lesson every time: the business usually breaks somewhere nobody sees from the outside.
Mini Sweets · Food Manufacturing · SOLD
Excellent Shine · Cleaning Company · SOLD
Clean It Now · Cleaning Company · SOLD
How I Think
I do not really enjoy pitching people. I enjoy understanding problems. That probably explains most of how I sell, build and communicate.
Discovery first
Why is this happening?
That is usually where I start. How are you solving this today? What is the annoying part? What keeps breaking? The product usually comes later. Understanding comes first.
Let’s build something useful.
Whether you are looking for software, trying to grow a business, or just want to discuss an idea, I am always interested in a real problem worth solving.
