bootstrapped saas / apple ecosystem apps in niches i'm familiar with. mostly passive recurring revenue (most of my time spent goes into r&d, i chose architectures to minimize ongoing operational needs).
i bootstrapped to avoid "working for" investors. and on some projects where i'm working with others, we've formed anarchist coop-like structures to avoid hypocritically subjecting others to the hierarchies i escaped. we're all happier and more productive for it. i would like to help more people try this through repeatable playbook-like resources.
- ornornor 4y ago> repeatable playbook-like resources Is there someplace we can find out more? I’m very curious.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoI bought indiedevstack.com to compile/blog on this but am some months away from getting going. You can follow one of my bizs for now I’ll announce there eventually @manabiSRS
- brianwawok 4y agoLeaving the ratrace to start a bootstrapped SaaS worked good for the first 5 years. Now into year 6 of bootstrapping a SaaS.. I am in the same exact boat as OP. And I can't take time off, at least not enough time off to "fix" the burnout.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoIt's painful. I didn't realize selling apps is very less of building software. Sure market is important, but it's even less than "changing our type of person". If self-promotion or narcissism is not our type, we are doomed.
