I bootstrapped a SaaS business from my kitchen table...it's now worth just shy of $100M. I thank the heavens everyday that I didn't go the VC route. I can pretty much do whatever I want without this constant growth at all costs pr

I have a $100M SaaS in a different space but the underlying tech is identical. I had this idea ~10 yrs ago when we first started writing our own import logic to move users over from competing services. The engineering challenges to make thi

I built a $100M SaaS. Do you want this more than anything? Are you willing to do do whatever it takes and go 1-2 years without a salary? If you answered yes then you just need to leap and iterate on the user feedback loop. My first mvp comp

I spent 10 years creating failure after failure...learning many things a long the way...at 27 my co-founder and I started a SaaS that is now worth $100M...we made $475 our first month which was roughly 10 years ago

Congrats! I ramped a little faster but followed the same path. The project started at my kitchen table now grosses $13M per year (10 years later). Keep going my friend; the road will be rocky but it's well worth the time and effort onc

I used this about 2 years ago and it was absolute junk...it couldn't run a mongo cluster and seemed to be half complete functionality wise. They were certainly more than willing to take my license fee. I see it still has a very dated U

I agree. Rancher has too many balls in the air. They are trying to support Cattle, Swarm, Mesos, Kubernetes... As a result they aren't terribly good at anything (The UI is insanely slow). Other specialized tools that just focus on one
