Pieter Levels (@levelsio) is the Dutch indie founder behind Nomads.com, Remote OK, Photo AI and Interior AI. His formula: build quickly, charge early and tell the internet what happened. His public portfolio spans remote work, AI, maps and games. [1]
Known since the 2014 twelve-startup challenge. MSc Business Administration, Erasmus/RSM, 2012. [2] [3]

Photo AI · expressly described as MRR
A creator mention and a step change
Retrospective account published 25 October 2023. The dates of the underlying event are unspecified.
Before creator mention≈ $12,000
After creator mention≈ $40,000–$50,000
$0$10k$20k$30k$40k$50k
What the financial headlines actually mean
The $420k figure was a short-lived post-podcast spike, already declining when disclosed. It mixed software, books, merchandise and job ads. The later $10M/year headline included investment gains, many unrealised. Neither number is a subscription-MRR total. [6] [5]
The flight game's $1M figure was an annualised run rate, not $1M collected in seventeen days. [14]
2 The projects, in pictures
The big businesses grew out of smaller experiments. Avatar AI became Photo AI; the older Nomad Jobs fed into Remote OK.
Nomads.com / Nomad List (2014). City data and a community for remote workers. In September 2026, Levels replaced the higher membership charge with a $1 anti-spam signup and discussed sponsorship. [21] [22]
Remote OK (2015). A remote-job board monetised through recruitment listings and advertising. The original build used PHP and SQLite. [18]
Photo AI (2023). Personalised AI photos, later video. It evolved from the stylised-avatar product Avatar AI. [23] [24] [25]
Interior AI (2022). AI room redesign and virtual staging, following his generated-architecture experiment. [26] [20]
The rest. MAKE turns the method into a book; Rebase connects customers with relocation advisers; Hoodmaps crowdsources neighbourhood character. Later experiments include a flight game, Vibe Jam and generated-video stream Infinite Slop. [27] [28] [19] [14] [29] [30]

4 The short backstory
- Before startups: electronic music, Panda Mix Show and a business-school thesis about the music industry's changing economics. [41] [42]
- 2013: left Amsterdam for Bangkok after selling equipment and simplifying his life. [43]
- 2014: announced twelve startups in twelve months. Nomad List became the breakthrough. [2] [21]
- The misses: in 2021 he said only four of more than seventy attempts had made money and grown. That was his assessment at that date. [38]
- Personal life: he has written about anxiety and the tension between relationships and constant travel. In 2024, his girlfriend's lost suitcase became the stated inspiration for Luggage Losers. [44] [45]
5 Arguments & contradictions
Solo, with help
His “one-person” model includes outside support. In 2022 he discussed contractors handling customer service, moderation and devops. [46]
The PHP argument
He attacks complicated web stacks and points to his own sales as evidence for simpler software. His 2026 Photo AI post described a 40,870-line PHP file. [47] [15]
Europe, loudly
Startup-policy proposals became increasingly blunt criticism of EU institutions. A December 2025 broadside ranks among his most-viewed archived posts. [48] [33]
AI helps — and threatens
In 2026 he argued that AI makes indie products easier to build and copy. Distribution, brand and proprietary data were his proposed defences. [49]
