Indie Hacker & Builder
Indie hacker. Bootstrapped 3 profitable SaaS products. Writing about building in public.
Highlights
I quit my $350k FAANG job to build a SaaS that makes $47k/month. People called me crazy. My parents still don't understand what I do. But I wake up excited every single day. No standups. No performance reviews. No politics. Best decision I ever made. AMA 👇
Month 18 of building in public: MRR: $47,200 (+12% MoM) Customers: 2,340 Churn: 3.1% CAC: $23 The biggest unlock this month? Switching from content marketing to community-led growth. Our Discord now drives 40% of new signups.
The best startup advice I ever got: "Charge more." Went from $9/mo to $29/mo. Lost 20% of users. Revenue tripled. Support tickets dropped 60%. The customers who pay more expect more — but they also complain less about things that don't matter.
