[SaaS Club] Fail, Fail Again, Bootstrap to $2M ARR

Hey, this is Omer...

Here's the latest SaaS Club update...

🎧 Podcast
We just published the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

Veed.io: Lessons on Bootstrapping a SaaS to $2M ARR
Sabba was first on my podcast 10 months ago...

We talked about how he and his co-founder Tim failed repeatedly but kept going. And finally, they managed to hit $10K MRR.

Recently I was in touch with Sabba and discovered that in the last 10 months, they've grown Veed.io from just over $100K to over $2 million in ARR!

So I invited Sabba back on the show and talk about how they've been able to grow their bootstrapped business so fast in less than a year.

In this interview we talk about:
  • What it means to build a 'great' product
  • How to decide on the right features to build
  • The growth tactics that helped them grow so fast
  • One critical ingredient you *must* have

I hope you enjoy it.

💬 Quote of the Week
Here is a quote from one of my favorite books called 'The Practicing Mind':

"When you focus on the process, the desired product takes care of itself with fluid ease. When you focus on the product, you immediately begin to fight yourself and experience boredom, restlessness, frustration, and impatience with the process." - Thomas M. Sterner

📕 Book of the Week
This weeks' recommendation is:
'Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE' by Phil Knight.

Bill Gates described the book as "a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like...it's an amazing tale."
