List of successful serial bootstrapped indie hackers?

To curate advice, I am looking for entrepreneurs who successfully built multiple businesses from creation to exit.

I focus on them because their lessons are more generalizable (and to rule out the role of luck and investment).

Surprisingly, I did not find a list of "successful serial bootstrapped entrepreneurs" after a quick search.

People I recently learned about would be Jason Cohen (@asmartbear) or Moritz Dausinger (@moritz), but I am sure there are many others.

Who would you put on that list?

    Qayyum Rajan (https://twitter.com/qayyumrajan) is definitely someone to pay attention to! He's cofounder with me at Lancr (https://www.lancr.co/), a fintech tool for payments & contract management for companies hiring remotely.

    A true bootstrapper, 5x founder with 3 successful exits. Finance guy who turned to development (usually it's other way around). Also SEO wizard.

    His other projects:

      Thank! Yes, he seems to be experienced.

      Do you also have a similar background?

    You can follow @levelsio or @dannypostma too. They are machines.

      Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, they are definitely great!

      Do you know a database perhaps where we can see founders with their projects, status, MRR, and exit value?

        interesting idea. what do you mean by their "status"?

        1. 1

          Yeah, sorry, I meant 'Project Status'. So, whether that project is 'running', 'exited', 'abandoned', in MVP phase, etc.

            cool. sounds like something we could do for boringcashcow.com
