Wall St Rank #buildinpublic update
Being a night-time bootstrapper, I need a way to stay accountable.. So every Friday I'll be posting a weekly update about wins, losses and learnings from building Wall St Rank.
Currently at 8,615 users, and $ 2,770 (that's appalling, I know 🙈)
Here's my first #buildinpublic update:
