The new Zero to $10m ARR community (do you want in?)

Published 16 days ago • 1 min read

The Zero to $10M ARR Newsletter

This newsletter is brought to you by Elizabeth O'Neill, an executive coach (and my sister) who helped me through some of the toughest moments in my journey as a founder. She’s not just family. We worked together for 4 years during some of the lowest points in my entrepreneurial career. Without her coaching, I’m not sure I would’ve made it to 20 years in. We also sat down recently to talk about those 20 years on her podcast. Give it a listen. I think you’ll enjoy it.

For the last year, I’ve spent over 200 hours building something different:

A real-time SaaS academy where you build your startup alongside me.

And I’m opening waitlist access today.

I’m opening access to:

  1. Build a profitable SaaS alongside me in real-time
  2. Get the exact playbooks, contractors, and strategies I’m using
  3. Tap into an exhaustive curriculum (constantly updated) on how to build and scale a modern, profitable SaaS
  4. Learn modern GTM strategies as I implement them alongside the community to scale Helply and InstantDocs
  5. Build a profitable SaaS with 50%+ EBITDA margins

In other words: Everything you need to bootstrap your SaaS to 7-figures while maintaining your freedom.

Now, full transparency:

I originally built this system just for my own team and contractors.

The strategies are too valuable to share widely. But seeing founders burn millions following outdated advice changed my mind.

So, now I’m giving you the chance to join the waitlist for my Zero to $10M ARR Academy.

Want to join?

☑️ Reply “Bootstrap”

I’ll send the waitlist link over via email ASAP.

Until next time,

Take care.

PS: This is NOT for unicorn-chasing or “growth at all costs” founders. We’re building real businesses with real profits here.

Our motto: build for freedom, not for exits.

The Zero to $10M ARR Newsletter I'm creating a community + coaching program for boostrapped founders scaling from zero to $10M ARR. It's called the Zero to $10M ARR Academy. If you're building something worthwhile and want support, guidance, and a community, come join us. A ‘successful’ founder friend of mine sold for $200M last year. His take-home after 6 years? $8.4M. He raised over $80M in venture capital, and the founders put in their life savings. In 2022, he tried to hire me saying...

The Zero to $10M ARR Newsletter I decided that since I’m bootstrapping Helply and InstantDocs in public, I might as well teach everything I know. So I'm starting a new community for B2B SaaS founders bootstrapping their companies to $10M ARR. It's called the Zero to $10M ARR Academy. If you're scaling something and want the actual playbooks on what, when, and how to do it, come join us. One of my VC-backed friends raised $33M. His startup got a $195M valuation in 2023. Every metric looked...

Hey Reader, Most AI agents fall short because the data behind them is weak. You don’t know what to train them on. Or you add what you have, but aren’t sure if it’s sufficient. And that’s where it breaks. It’s a data source problem. When we set out to build Helply, that was one of our biggest findings; lack of optimized data was killing AI agents. We went out and solved that problem with Knowledge Bridge™. Knowledge Bridge™ runs your support tickets against your knowledge base, finds the gaps,...
