An indie hacker from a time before indie hacking 😲

How would you like to read about a New York teacher who grew the largest community of its kind?

What if I said he sold the site within a year of launching.... and then bought it back 3 years later?

I love doing case studies on startups which have grown, and this is no different.

Ugh... yet another startup story, I hear you thinking.

I'd like to think I write a little differently. I spend some time digging into what triggered each startup's growth, and guesstimate some of their financial performance.

Anyway - if you're interested in this story, here it is:

And if you like it, subscribe for more. I'll aim to write up a few a month.

      I like case studies too!

      I've actually been taking notes privately for a while, and only recently started cleaning them up and publishing them for the hell of it

      Let's be real - everybody has very little free time and you're gonna forget to come back 😉

      You could drop your email here and I'll ping you when I complete another three! https://radicles.fyi/newsletter/
