Solo founder clones YC consumer startups weekly, geo-targets non-US markets and prints money

A poster shares the playbook of an "ultra cracked" friend: watch every newly funded consumer YC startup, recreate it in a week, and geo-target non-US audiences. That side project has grown into a sizable organization that is "absolutely printing money."
The core takeaway is geo arbitrage: clone fresh Silicon Valley consumer ideas, skip the hyper-competitive US market, and deploy into regions with far lower acquisition costs — a space still underexploited.
