Hey —
It's Yacine. You probably forgot you subscribed to one of my newsletters. Fair enough. I went quiet for a while.
Here's the short version of what happened: I stopped writing and started building.
Over the past two years, I set up companies across three countries (US, Hong Kong, Indonesia), launched a tokenization platform for real estate (Propex), built an AI-powered company formation tool (Companiz), and moved full-time to Bali. I made roughly $12,000 in avoidable mistakes along the way — wrong entity structures, wrong advisors, wrong sequences — and I learned more about international business setup than I ever expected to.
The longer version is in my first issue, if you're curious: I Set Up 3 Companies Across 3 Countries. Here's What Nobody Told Me.
Why I'm emailing you now
I used to spread my writing across three separate newsletters:
Store of Value — money, bitcoin, the philosophy of value
Non Fungible Topics — NFTs, digital ownership, tokenization
RealEstate 3.0 — tokenized property, fractional investment, Bali real estate
The problem was obvious: these topics aren't separate. They're all part of the same story — how founders build, structure, and own things in a world that's going digital. Writing about them in three different places made no sense.
So I merged everything into one newsletter: The Nifty Founder.
What you'll get
One email per week. Three rotating pillars:
Structure Lab — Entity formation, jurisdiction strategy, banking, compliance. The practical playbooks I wish someone had given me before I spent $12K learning the hard way.
Token Thesis — Tokenization, real-world assets, digital ownership. Not crypto hype — the actual mechanics of how ownership is changing.
Builder Diaries — What I'm building, what broke, what I'd do differently. Running three companies from Bali with the filter off.
No fluff. No theory. Everything I write comes from doing the thing, not reading about it.
What I'm NOT going to do
Spam you. One email per week, that's it.
Sell you a course. I'm not a guru.
Pretend I have all the answers. I'm a founder who's a step or two ahead on a path a lot of people are walking.
Your move
If any of this sounds useful, you don't need to do anything. You're already subscribed. Next week's issue will land in your inbox.
If this isn't your thing anymore, I respect that completely. Hit unsubscribe at the bottom and we're good.
And if you want to catch up on what you missed, here are a few pieces to start with:
Good to be back.
