Stefan Kuveljic
@stefankuveljic
I grow paid AI creator communities and turn ad creative into retention-driven revenue.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a community and growth operator focused on building audiences and converting them. I founded Viral AI Academy and grew a paid Skool community to 964 members with 85% retention (top 1% of 25,000+ tech communities on Skool) while running onboarding, weekly lessons, weekly games, and moderation solo.
Along the way, I used self-funded Meta ads to drive 1,361 paid signups at $11.81 each, producing $4,443 MRR in 9 months. I also run an AI-first, async-native production pipeline for cinematic AI video ads, using Seedance, Kling, and Higgsfield, and I translate the same retention instincts into digital marketing—building a faceless YouTube channel to 360K+ subscribers and 592,181,049 views in 12 months.
