I’m a YC founder who did 0 to 2M ARR in founder led sales with absolutely 0 sales background. I’m basically a self-learned coder who had to take CEO role, therefore doing sales. I find this video about enterprise sales from Pete Koomen (YC Partner) to be the best summary: https://youtu.be/0fKYVl12VTA?si=mkP3SIWHiv2Ha3iT https://youtu.be/0fKYVl12VTA?si=mkP3SIWHiv2Ha3iT

If you don't mind me asking, over what timeframe?

  About 18 months after very modest Seed round. We were first bootstrapped and it took a year to go to 300r ARR after we started working full time

    ~6.5X in ~18 months put you pretty near, getting into hyper growth, in my book (~350ish%>) - very good work. Keep it up, and good luck!
