Pat Walls's most successful startup to date was born in the wake of a previous failed startup. Back in 2016 he and a couple other co-founders had been operating a B2B SaaS platform, but after it struggled to gain traction, they were forced to shut it down.

But Pat never lost the entrepreneurship itch, and in 2017 he started interviewing other startup founders on the phone and converting those interviews into case studies for a website called Starter Story. After a few of those case studies blew up on Reddit, Pat knew he was onto something, so he started publishing them with more frequency.

Flash forward a few years, and Starter Story now attracts over a million visitors a month, many from Google Searches. It also generates half a million dollars in annual revenue through a mixture of advertising, membership, and affiliate marketing.
