Code and BootstrappingCode up some cash, bootstrap, indiehack and be a solopreneur. Author: Alchemist Camp
I'm Mark and I've long had a love of both business and programming. I've run two moderately successful brick and mortar businesses, a failed tech startup and now a lifestyle business. This podcast is inspired by what I've learned over the past several years making the transition into the tech industry, working at startups in Beijing, Silicon Valley and elsewhere and then building my own profitable side projects. Whether you're currently an employee at a tech startup, an aspiring digital nomad with an interest in tech or already running a small lifestyle business, you just may learn something that saves you a lot of time, money and pain in your journey.

S1E9 - Bootstrapping and selling Feedback Panda with Arvid Kahl
Episode 9
Monday, 28 October, 2019
Arvid and his partner Danielle just sold their company, Feedback Panda, after scaling it to a $55k MRR in just under two years. The product is aimed at online English teachers serving the Chinese market, but they were working from Germany. We talked a bit about how he evaluated the market opportunity in online English teacher pains Danielle identified. I also asked Arvid how he thought about how much and where to invest engineering efforts, the pros and cons of open metrics for startups, book recommendations and more. I was definitely in this conversation to learn as much as possible to apply to my own bootstrapping efforts!
