Malek Boudjemia

Software engineer since 2007. Grew up in Algeria, spent four years in France, landed in the US in 2014 and stayed.

Almost two decades writing code for other people's products. At some point it hits you: if your employer is making money off your work, you're worth more to yourself than you're collecting. Simple math.
Took me a while to actually do something about it.

Recouply is my first real product. It helps indie founders stop losing revenue to failed Stripe payments.
Starting from zero, no following, no prior launches figuring it out in public


Working On

  1. Recouply

    Recouply helps indie SaaS founders recover failed Stripe payments before they turn into churn. Built for Stripe. One plan at $19/mo. Still figuring out distribution in public.

  2. Satori Daily

    I'm also running a small newsletter called Satori Daily. Started it to learn what growing an audience actually takes before I have to.
