Hey, this is Omer...

Here's the latest SaaS Club update...

We just published the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

Bootstrapping a SaaS from Zero to $55K MRR in 2 Years

Arvid Kahl is the founder and editor at The Bootstrapped Founder. He also co-founded FeedbackPanda, a SaaS productivity tool for online teachers.

Arvid always wanted to start his own business. He'd worked on different ideas over the years, but never had success with any of them.

Eventually, he and his partner Danielle came up with another idea in 2017. It wasn't a super innovative or ground-breaking idea. In fact, it was pretty simple.

By 2019, Arvid and Danielle had turned that idea into a successful SaaS business and they were able to sell it for seven figures.

In this interview, you'll learn how Arvid and Danielle bootstrapped their SaaS business from zero to $55K monthly recurring revenue (MRR) in 2-years.

We dig into what Arvid did differently with this idea that made the difference between success and failure. And despite a successful exit, you'll also learn about some of the key mistakes Arvid made and the decisions he regrets that created a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety for him.

💬 Quote of the Week
Here is the quote of the week from Arvid:

📕 Book of the Week

This weeks' recommendation is Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John Warrillow.

Here's a brief blurb about it:

"A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency."
