“I'm a non-technical founder in the Netherlands. Built the platform mostly with Claude Code and Lovable over the last few months.”

Samuel Rose (founder) on Hacker News, Apr 21, 2026

Editor's note: Samuel Rose is the founder and CEO of Agensi B.V. in Amsterdam, per the Agensi about page, and his X bio links agensi.io; TrustMRR links the listing to the same X account. In Reddit posts about Agensi he describes the stack: Lovable for the frontend and UI, Supabase for the database and functions, Stripe Connect for creator payouts, and Claude Code for most of the architecture and the MCP server. Note that the verified figure is gross sales through the marketplace, and creators keep most of each direct sale. This is an early, small case. The quote is from his Show HN post of Apr 21, 2026.

How they got customers

The founder posted about Agensi in AI and vibe coding communities on Reddit and in a Show HN on Hacker News, and publishes articles in a Learn section for SEO (66 articles by April 2026). Skill creators also promote their own listings on X.
