Hashtag Pirate

by Nicolas Elec Attallah

Hashtag Pirate was an Instagram hashtag search engine that allowed users to find posts with multiple specific hashtags. Nicolas built the MVP in two months and achieved SEO success, ranking #1 for three keywords. However, the startup failed when Instagram/Facebook blocked API access in June 2016 to monetize their platform, making the core service non-functional before Nicolas could generate revenue.
