About
Hi! I'm Richard Felix, Second of His Name. I love to write code and figure out how things work. I'm also very much into food, whether I'm eating, cooking, baking, smoking meat or grilling.
Occasionally I find time to play an instrument or two. Usually guitar.
I'm also an investor (in Supercast, Scripto, AgelessRx, Peachy (failed in 2023), ConvertKit, TRMNL. I'm also a LP in Calm Company Fund) and an executive producer on some short films.
I've built a lot of things on the internet. A lot. Some were just fun projects, some were products. Some worked out. Many didn't. Eventually, thanks to 30x500 I learned that what I was doing wrong was having ideas and trying to find customers for them instead of identifying valuable problems and then telling people about the solution I built.
Currently I'm actively working on Stunning, which helps Stripe users to recover more revenue from their customers when payments fail.
I'm also working on Receiver, which helps SaaS and ecommerce companies to get more customers from their existing traffic, and Metadater, which helps to collect information from your customers and save it in your Stripe metadata.
Have an iPhone and want to keep your phone in Low Power mode when traveling? Max Battery is a shortcut that I wrote to help with that.
A lot of people have graciously helped me along the way, without asking for anything in return. I like to pay that forward as much as possible, so if you have any questions about anything that you think I can help with, let me know!
