About Stefan Ciancio
My Story
Engineer turned 7-figure entrepreneur. I've been building businesses online since I was 14 - and I haven't stopped since.
The Hustle Started Early
When I was 14, I started writing letters to baseball players, collecting their autographs, and selling them online. Then I wrote an e-book teaching others how to do the same thing. Little did I know - I was already doing information marketing.
That entrepreneurial spark stayed with me through college. I graduated, got an engineering job, and almost immediately knew it wasn't for me. I wanted to move to New York City, travel the world, and build something of my own.
My coworkers laughed when I told them I was getting into internet marketing. But I didn't care - I was early to the game, and I could see the future.
Finding My Path
In 2015, I fired my boss and went all-in. I started with eBay selling, moved into Kindle e-books, and eventually realized that online courses were the real opportunity.
Around the same time, I was driving massive traffic from Pinterest - which turned into a full Pinterest marketing business, then a course, then coaching, then an agency. Each step taught me something new about scaling.
But the real breakthrough came when I discovered webinars. They became the engine behind everything - the thing that let me go from grinding to generating over $8 million in sales online. Webinars didn't just change my revenue. They changed my entire life.
Building What Was Missing
After seeing how powerful webinars were - and how broken most webinar tools were - I co-founded WebinarKit with a friend who shared the same vision: to build the all-in-one automated webinar platform the market desperately needed.
From there, I co-founded Maker AI, PressPitch AI and AI Support Crew, using AI to help entrepreneurs create content, get press and answer their customers at scale. Now in the age of AI coding, I'm building vibe-coded software to help people scale faster than ever.
And because I'm passionate about fighting the loneliness epidemic through community, I founded Epic Marketing Events - live events that bring entrepreneurs together to learn, connect, and build that positive echo chamber for success.
I also founded ProcessingScoop.com, a resource helping entrepreneurs compare payment processors and reduce fees.

The Bigger Picture
With Greek immigrant roots, I grew up with a deep appreciation for hard work and building something from nothing. That grit followed me from the cubicle to co-founding multiple companies while traveling the world as a digital nomad.
Along the way, I've made friends with incredible entrepreneurs who became an integral part of my journey - building the positive echo chamber for entrepreneurship and success that didn't exist in my "normal" life.
