Bootstrap Startup Lessons B2B Marketers Can Laugh

    • Marketing

Arvid Kahl is a seasoned pro when it comes to bootstrapping startups. He created Feedback Panda and one year later grew it to $55,000 MRR. He then sold it two years later for an amount of money that was life changing. He then launched Bootstrapped Founder where he writes about Bootstrapping, startups, engineering and mental health. He’s also written a couple of guides, one of which is Zero to Sold that is meant to guide software engineers who want to become entrepreneurs.
Arvid and I discuss:
Lessons he learned from failed startupsHow to turn startups into viable business that stand the test of timeHow he grew his Twitter following to 50,000+ followersMental health as it relates to work ethic and culture among startups
