Sold my side-project to a VC!
by Bram Kanstein (@bramk)Back in November, I launched a fun project called "Road to Scale" (roadtoscale.com) that I built without code. Using Carrd, Zapier, Airtable, Google Sheets & Gmail. My goal was to drive leads to No-Code MVP. 6 months and 20K users later, a Silicon Valley VC acquired it from me.

Awesome story. What does your project do? I see only 8 video courses on the page, is this it?

That's awesome!
It's not dissimilar to my public Notion board, 100 ideas for your first 100 users https://board.first100users.com/
Atm I use it to drive people to my productised service but am exploring if it can be useful as its own entity.
Did they approach you @bramk

nice work! I have some questions when you are free:
- What was the push factor for you to decide to sell? Was it your goal from day one?
- How did you "advertise" that it was up for sale?
I wanted to see the site too, but its currently down.. I suppose that is no longer your problem lol

VC exits are a big deal at any stage, as it’s often the culminating moment of years of hard work. In this case, six months.

Congrats Bram. That must have put a lot of hard cash into your pocket. The harder you work, the luckier you become they say. Congrats. Next frontier?
