Reflecting on 2 years Bootstrapping.

In July 2018 I quit my job and tried to build a profitable SAAS with @kevinsahin.

And we failed, hard: $600 MRR after 1 year.

We tried again and had a bit more luck: $75k ARR within 12m.

Here's what I wish I knew when I began, a thread:
1. This thing takes time

Bootstrapping a SAAS is long, very long.

Of course, you'll hear about fast growth but real overnight successes are very rare.

Most of the time, when you look behind you'll find:
- years of building an audience
- several failed attempts
- consistency
Example 1: look at the @convertkit growth chart, one of the most successful #openstartup projects of all-time.

Monthly revenue stalled between $1k and $3k during the first 18 months.

They are now at $1.9m MRR!
