Hey everyone,
We just launched MRR Journey —a directory of real founder stories focused on early traction, first customers, and the lessons that actually stuck.
The idea came from noticing how hard it is to find honest, structured accounts of how bootstrapped founders got their first paying customers. Most resources are either too polished or too scattered. We wanted something in between: real journeys, told clearly, with the messy details intact.
What's in it:
Founder stories structured around early traction and first $1k MRR Practical lessons from SaaS, AI tools, plugins, memberships, and developer tools A simple form to submit your own story (no gatekeeping)
Who it's for:
Solo founders, indie hackers, and tiny teams building recurring-revenue businesses who want to learn from people who've been there.
We're launching lean and learning as we go. If you've hit $1k MRR or are working toward it, we'd love to hear your story. And if you find the directory useful, let us know what's missing.

What's your biggest bottleneck between $0 and $1k MRR?
