Bootstrapping a privacy-first Google Analytics to $4k/mo

SaaS success story + list of podcast for entrepreneurs

👋 Hey Failories! It's Nico over here.

Last week, I asked you to click on a link if you wanted us to write about Quibi's shut down. It got +170 clicks so we're already working on it. In the meantime, you may enjoy this article from The Verge which analyzes 11 reasons why Quibi may have failed.

Today's content won't disappoint you anyway. The first piece is an interview with the founder of a bootstrapped SaaS that competes with Google Analytics and has made its path to +$4k in MRR. The second one is an article on the best 32 podcasts for entrepreneurs. Let me know if we're missing any!

🚨 This newsletter is sponsored by Starkflow, where you go to find developers for your startup.

    Hope you enjoy the content. Let me know if your favorite podcast isn't listed in the article and I may add it.

    This week I joined two communities of entrepreneurs & creators (Trends.vc and Visualize Value). I really recommend you forming part of a few online communities where you can connect with people in your same industry or with whom you share your business model (SaaS, eCommerce, agency, etc). We might publish an article listing some great communities for entrepreneurs ;)

    That's all for this week. Next week I'll probably send you Failory's October report.
