# Anthony Castrio ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/2026-05-04 Anthony Castrio.jpg|400]] Anthony Castrio is a digital nomad turned entrepreneur, indie maker, and founder of Indie Worldwide, an online community and virtual accelerator for bootstrapped startup founders. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Castrio started his entrepreneurial journey five years ago as a digital nomad, organizing indie hacker meetups across cities like Medellín, Boston, Montreal, and Mexico City. Frustrated by constantly leaving communities behind when moving cities, he founded Indie Worldwide to create a virtual community that could compound and travel with him anywhere. The platform has grown to over 3,000 members in three years, generating $4,233 monthly revenue through memberships and sponsorships. Castrio also works at ApplyAll helping tech workers find better jobs, co-founded Wizen Guides with Ana Bibikova, and runs the "Bot Eat Brain" newsletter about AI trends for 16,000+ subscribers. His other projects include Formico and HealthCareIsDumb.com. A former software engineer and fractional CTO, Castrio exemplifies the indie hacker movement by building bootstrapped businesses, focusing on community building, and sharing knowledge with fellow entrepreneurs while maintaining sustainable revenue streams. ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Anthony Castrio]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Anthony Castrio]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> - [[People don't care about your solutions nearly as much as they care about their problems.
