His story, in his own posts

You do not need a biographer for Jacob. He retells his origin story on LinkedIn often, and the data shows which chapters he treats as load-bearing.

The attic. The hinge of his whole brand is 2019. "In 2019, I left my €28,500/yr job in London. In exchange for a €14,000/yr job in Cyprus," he writes. "My parents had divorced (twice)... We lost my childhood home due to unpaid debt."

He moved back to be near a father "diagnosed with lung cancer & bipolar," and "lived and worked from my girlfriend's parent's attic. With no office. 6 pets. 1 bed. A backpack. A laptop. A family."

Before the attic. A longer timeline fills in what came first: "At 18, I used to play music to earn a living," flying "to California to study Jazz Guitar," a Masters at UCL, and a now-famous detour: "I put my rent money on it. The rest is history. (2017 was a good year :) )," his nod to an early Bitcoin bet.

The climb out. From the attic he founded Mojo Design, "scaled Mojo to $500K/ARR," then "co-founded a Metaverse Consultancy and scaled it to $1.2M in 9 months."

Then came the thing he is known for: "Founded Modern Maker, my solo consultancy helping creators install low ticket funnels, offers and email writing." His headline number: a seven-figure, one-person business, "over 350+ klanten and over 2,800+ customers."

Why the money matters to him. His most-liked post of 2026 is not about funnels. "Last week I sent my mum $10k for her birthday," it opens, before the reason: "Take care of the people who carried you when you had nothing. Everything else is bullsh*t you'll forget in a week." Buying his mother a house, then a home for his own family, is the recurring emotional payoff of the business.

One detail our data surfaces that a normal bio never would: the timeline is a franchise, not a post. Jacob re-ships near-identical "here is my whole journey" recaps (the attic, the divorces, the lost home, the mum's beach house, the marathon) at least three times in the corpus, updating the client counts each time. The signature story is an asset he re-runs, not a one-off.
