My journey bootstrapping a SaaS to 7-figures
You've heard building SaaS is a "marathon, not a sprint".
You've also heard that an "overnight success" can take 10 years
Both are true.
I built my first real SaaS in 2011. That project only made $100, but that $100 was my window into what's possible.
I haven't stopped since.
The graphs above show what that journey has looked like financially as I tried one thing after another until something hit:
-
The first chart is my annual revenue from SaaS ventures from 2011-2017.
-
The following chart shows the monthly revenue for the 2.5 years that followed, in which was then followed by a 7-figure exit.
So…
Keep going.
Be persistent and consistent.
Believe in yourself.
You got this.
P.S. I'm rebooting my newsletter to share the insights I learned in bootstrapping SaaS to 7-figures, and exposing the process as I try to do it again.

One very quick random question: What's the app you use to generate those gradient-background images? I see it all the time on Twitter.

@macmartine You're right, there is no shortcut to success in just 24 hours or 24 days, which many new founders want.
Everything takes time, and if you remain consistent, you will get good results. We need to be patient for the success of the product.
That's exactly it, Bucky. There's more luck involved than we care to admit. So while acquiring skills is certainly helpful, there are so many variables in and out of our control that in some ways it's a game of chance, and the more things we try, the better our chances of success.
agree!
