Ask HN: Bootstrapped tech founders who blog, write, etc?
While there are lots of articles about fundraising and the like for venture-backed tech businesses, I've not found great resources for bootstrapping tech entrepreneurs.
So I started creating a list of bootstrappers who write about their processes, strategies, etc.
http://4044walnut.com/bootstrapping-tech-founders/
The list is just 8 now. And I know there must be hundreds of others. If you have recommendations on folks, let me know, and I'll update the post so hopefully other folks looking to build bootstrapped businesses may find some useful insights and inspiration.

- asanwal 12y agoCool. Thx. Will check out and update. Someone also emailed me and suggested the founder of Balsamiq. FYI.
- imp 12y agoThere are two podcasts that have guys on there that are bootstrappers: * Boostrapped with Kids * Startups for the rest of us
- ZenPro 12y agoAside : I love founders who place being a husband or father (or both) front and centre in their online profiles - in short people like yourself and Ryan Carson. Will def be following the CB Insights blog.
- asanwal 12y agoThanks. I've found having a kid focuses you a lot. They can't eat Ramen noodles :)
- krrishd 12y agoThe guys at http://Drifty.co http://Drifty.co have been bootstrapped for a long time, and IIRC they do blog. EDIT: blog is at http://blog.drifty.co http://blog.drifty.co
