Disk Doctor
A Mac cleaner for AI junk. Fun video. Wrong business.
If it does not feed the distribution surface, it is a sunk-cost trap.
I build products. The dead ones stay on the board.
I'm Rik. I used to market other people's launches. Now I ship my own: a weekly show, an AI consultancy, a builder platform, and a pile of experiments that earned their tombstones.

about
The midcurve is the job.
I'm a builder, operator, and creator.
From Belgium → crypto CMO → nomad years → creator. I ran marketing and community for a crypto venture studio and various startups.
Midcurved is the parent name. RikGPT is the solo camera. GodModePod is the weekly show with cohost Ben. BeClaire is how the lights stay on. vibecode.fun is the public workshop. Everything else is on the board below, including the ones I killed.
now · 2026
What I am actually doing.
- BeClaireAI workflows for real operators. Cash first.
- GodModePodWeekly AI / crypto / builder show. The public voice.
- GodMode StudioProduction studio for the show. Pre to post. Still being rebuilt.
- RikGPTLong-form and short-form from the same life.
- Creator stackvibecode.fun + TestDrive. Tools and distribution.
Side bets: DirtyLingo, Distance Games, SideKick. Everything else is parked or buried on purpose. Bansko, Bulgaria.

the graveyard
Products I killed.
Not ideas. Things that had a name, a URL, or real weeks. Each one bought a sentence I still use.
receipt // killed · 2026
Favicon & Logo Generator
Shipped. Converted. Then sat there looking like a company.
A checkout is not a category.
receipt // killed · 2026
Idea Generator
Folded into 30x30. Two products, one job.
Do not ship a second front door for the same itch.
receipt // killed · 2023
Blockcareers
Crypto job board. Co-founded it. Five months, no MVP. The developer never delivered.
If you cannot see the work, there is no work.

The hedge fund
Same partner as Blockcareers. He brought capital, I tested trades. It never became a fund.
A partner and a plan is not a company.
The real skill is knowing when to quit. Timing is the product.
the record
The years.
Jobs, a year on the road, a startup that died. Nothing skipped.
WeRate
2025Solana-native rating product. GTM and community with the team.
