🥳 My co-founder and I just launched a new startup that's growing quickly. Here's how we did it and how you can too 👇 1) First of all, we established a solid partnership. ✅ We both invested a lot of time getting to know each other and learning how to navigate good and challenging times together. Having the right co-founder is key. 2) Then we got the BIG idea. ✅ It wasn't original, but we put our spin on it and we are going after a proven market. That's how a lot of great businesses are built. 3) Once we were ready, we started building the product. ✅ At first, it was just an MVP, but after 9 months working on it, it started to really take shape. And after many sleepless nights, we are super proud to launch it into the world today. DM me if you want the full Step by Step playbook. (It's not appropriate for LinkedIn.) PS: No it's not profitable and probably will never be, but the ROI is insane. PPS: Meet Mateo ❤️

It's wild how much a bootstrapped startup can grow in just 12 months. From $198 to $355K in volume during the same period last vs this year. Zero capital raised and no pitch decks. Last year Jan & Feb - build mvp - 6 customers - $198 of revenue This year Jan & Feb - robust product - over $100K MRR - 355K in revenue Biggest takeaways? - team & product are key but the market accelerates everything - stay as close to the customer as possible - move really fast Shoutout to everyone on the Castmagic team who's helped make this happen and can't wait to see where we are same time next year 🪄

Two of the founders I really admire, Adam Robinson and Alina Vandenberghe just had a super cool discussion where Alina talked about scaling Chili Piper to $30m ARR - what works for them even now, and her game plan if she was at $1m ARR today! I enjoyed every second of it. It’s super authentic, and covers so many other topics like bootstrapping, VC, founder brand, content creation and more. Sharing this because I know a lot of founders might find the insights super interesting in their own journeys! Check it out at - https://lnkd.in/d46JpCNC

"I quickly realized that this time, no VC would do the validation for me” Second-time founders have many privileges, but they also face unique challenges. In our ideas rip launch event, Ron Reiter talked about going through the ideation-validation journey as someone who has been there before, and how it makes things look different. VCs’ enthusiasm to invest in him - no matter what he planned to build - made him take a step back, understanding that he needed to convince himself, rather than anyone else, that the idea for his second startup was truly viable.
