Case Overview & Background

Romàn Czerny, 30, based in Lisbon, sold his first product CocoAI for seven figures. He then built Gojiberry AI, which helps B2B companies find prospects on LinkedIn using buying signals. He says it reached $27K MRR at the start of December, with $35,000 in sales that month.

How AI Is Used

Gojiberry AI is an AI product that watches for buying signals and helps time LinkedIn outreach. The public section does not name the models used.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 01Do it manually

Step 02Automate it

Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes

What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:

  • The figure is self-reported and was not independently checked
  • He had a seven-figure exit and experience before this
  • Platform rules on LinkedIn automation can change

Key Takeaways
