Here we are at episode 30! Just found this old 2012 interview with the founder of MailChimp, before they became a $4.2 billion company. This quotes is awesome: Back in 2001, we had multiple customers who needed help sending their email newsletters. They were using really big, expensive, bloated software. We had some “scrap code” lying around, so we modified the code and turned it into an email newsletter app for them. We opened it up to the public, set up some Google Adwords, and b...

Your revenue forecast is wrong

August 28, 2018 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MB

What does "bootstrapping" mean really? For most folks, bootstrapping means self-funding your business from revenues. It means not taking Venture Capital, not taking Angel funding. It's a little bit of a religion and like so many religions different people have different definitions of what it takes to "fit in." Some people say you can't even take money from friends and family. If you take any outside money, you're no longer a part of the bootstrappers club. We recorded this episode ...

Nick Quah shared this in his recent newsletter, commenting about podcasts: [I have] this feeling that everybody’s drilling for oil in the same spot because some other guy found oil there already. Nick thinks podcasters have two options: Build something that does the same thing for the same audience, but do it better. If this is the case, he says, “you better bring it.” Or, “identify and pursue a pocket of pent-up demand that has yet to be unleashed.” Note: apologies about Justin...

The opposite of bored money

July 24, 2018 08:00 - 9 minutes - 9.14 MB

In 2013, I interviewed Jason Calacanis, the angel investor. One of the things I asked him: "Why do venture capital investors take these big risks with their money?"  "There's a lot of money in the world. There are trillions of dollars just sitting around, and people are bored. The money is bored! Money wants to burn! Money does not want to sit in a safe." Uh. What an interesting idea: "the money is bored." Jon Buda and I are bootstrapping Transistor.fm and Spots.fm. We've investe...
