Nevo David built Postiz, an open-source social media scheduler, and grew it from $0 to $66K MRR.
It took him 3 years to go from 0 to $20K MRR.
The last $46K took 35 days. Thanks to one viral article and the OpenClaw wave.
In this episode, he breaks down every growth hack he used, how he made his SaaS agentic-first, and why this is the biggest blue ocean for founders right now.
