August 4, 2021 Academy Enrollment Closed

I have had the good fortune to uncover a new SaaS idea that I am very passionate about. As such, I am going to move all my focus to that new product.

You can still access the Indie Founder Bootcamp (free) - and I highly recommend it - but the paid Nugget Startup Academy enrollment is closed for the foreseeable future.

April 9, 2019 Revenue dipped because...

Revenue dipped because I'm not actively pursuing filling up a batch right now. At the moment I'm focusing on working with existing batch members, writing a book, and spinning up my own SaaS product external to Nugget. Expecting to bring on a new batch in 3 months or so.

February 14, 2019 Moved to a 10 Founders per Month Strategy

We are proving to be most successful when working very closely with founders. What that means is very regular mentoring via slack and Google hangouts, often daily, for each founder.

This makes rolling batches not possible right now as we don't have enough mentors.

As such, we will be moving to a higher price point and a lower amount of founders - just 10 founders and 1 batch per month for the foreseeable future.
