How it started

Benji Chen, a 20-year-old NYU student who grew up in Asia, built 45+ apps over a year (including High GPT) before locking in on one product with his team at 10x Studio. His process: define what users must see in three seconds, wireframe in Figma, then feed designs to Claude Code, building an app in 4-5 hours. Snag grew to $30K MRR in under four months via UGC and gradually scaled paid ads.
