Serhat Soruklu

Solo founder and full-stack developer behind Coupyn, an independent coupon, referral, and affiliate intelligence platform with 950,000+ live company pages.

I have designed, built, and operated the entire product since 2023 using Angular, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and self-managed infrastructure. My current focus is large-scale SEO, data quality, publisher tools, performance, security, and turning early organic traction into a durable business.

Here to share the real bootstrapped journey, including architecture decisions, experiments, failures, and what actually moves the numbers.

Building Coupyn From Zero

Coupons and referral codes are everywhere, but the ecosystem is fragmented. Consumers encounter expired offers, publishers struggle for visibility, and many directories prioritise paid placement over transparent value.

I built Coupyn to create an independent platform where:

Consumers → discover useful, active offers.
Publishers → share codes, track performance, and gain visibility.
Companies → become discoverable through structured public data.
The community → benefits as the platform’s data and coverage grow.

The Build So Far

I started Coupyn in 2023 with no team and no external funding.
