Jordan Igbu became known at the age of 16, after discovering a security weakness in the Swiss Federal Railways ticket system ( SBB, which enabled the generation of free tickets. Five years later, it has returned with a new project: the Swarmz company, an artificial intelligence platform that creates websites, online stores and apps only through written instructions.

Jordan’s story, Igbu, is an example of an unusual path to technology entrepreneurship. At the age of 16, it attracted the attention of Swiss media after identifying a weakness in the SBB ticket system, which allowed users to obtain free tickets.

He reported the problem to the company’s respective authorities, while SBB addressed the case as a fraud case and closed the system’s access to abuse, writes 20 minutes.

Today, at the age of 21, Igbu has another ambition: to build a successful company on the artificial intelligence market.

His company is called Swarmz and intends to facilitate the creation of digital products to those who have no knowledge of programming.

Through guidelines in common languages, users can create websites, online stores or web applications. For example, a business may require a site for errands, bookings, and payments, while artificial intelligence builds technical structure and enables it to adapt to needs.

According to Igbu, what once demanded thousands of francs and weeks of work can already be accomplished within minutes.

From Night Tours to Company Creation

The road to the founding of Swarmz was not easy. Despite great interest in technology, Jordan failed to provide a place of internry in the field of IT, even after numerous applications.

He followed another professional course, training as a healthcare professional at the Triemley City Hospital in Switzerland.

However, the passion for technology did not fade. In parallel with the work and night shifts, he continued to deal with servers, hosting websites, and artificial intelligence.

When IA models became more accessible to the public, Igbu began experimenting with them and gradually developed the idea that he would later be transformed into Swarmz.

The project was funded mainly by itself, investing revenues from temporary jobs in the development of the platform. Today, he co-operates with two other developers, transmits Telegrafi.

The road was hard. We failed a thousand times and had to solve our own problems. I can’t say how many hours of work we invested in Swarmz, but it was a lot, he relates.

How does the Swarmz platform work?

The platform uses a credit system. Free account users earn five credits a day to a maximum of 30 credits per month.

This can create a simple website that can be published and run online, but it contains the platform filigree.

The cheaper subscription costs 25 Swiss francs, while the price increases depending on the complexity of the project, required functions and integrations of other services.

In a platform demonstration for the Swiss newspaper 20 Minute, Jordan managed to create within 15 minutes a website for a hair salon, with reservations, payment and confirmation via email.

The site was published during the demonstration and could be accessed by computer or phone.

Security and Artificial Intelligence Centered on Development

At the heart of Swarmz stands a software developed by the team itself, which generates the code of the web pages from scratch.

Igbu says the company constantly tests various models of artificial intelligence, including Deepseek, Qwen and Kim, and works with advanced IA labs.

He also cites the Claudeic models and OpenAI technologies, stressing that recent developments in this field bring great opportunities, but also new cyber security risks.

For this reason, Swarmz has, according to him, set up defense mechanisms to prevent cyberattacks, generate unsafe code and accidentally publish sensitive data from users.

Strong Competition in IA Market

Swarmz is entering a market where there are already known platforms as Lovable, Cersor and Claude Code, which also enable software creation with the help of artificial intelligence.

However, Igbu believes his company’s priority lies in the simplicity of use.

The goal is to offer an accessible tool to people who have business ideas, want to create digital products or initiate small activity, but have no technical knowledge and cannot afford the costs of a team of developers or an agency.

Still no living by the company

Although Swarmz has been online since May and, according to the founder, is growing rapidly, Igbu still cannot live solely from the company’s income.

He has not disclosed the number of customers or revenue generated so far, explaining that most of the profits are invested in the development of the platform.

However, the 21-year-old does not seem to intend to give up. He considers Swarmz his most important project and aims to further develop it despite major competition in the market.

In the future, he does not rule out the possibility of selling the company if he manages to turn it into a successful business.

But for the moment, his goal remains the same: to keep pushing the boundaries of what technology can do./Telegraphy/
