  Mike Perham and Sidekiq[0]. Been a long time user of his work and recently read an interview he had on Indie Hackers[1] last year that was very inspiring. Keep it up, Mike!

    I constantly go back to that and am just amazed at how much he did with so little.

  I'm pretty sure Mailchimp is 100% bootstrapped, which is an impressive achievement for a freemium offering.
