The Bootstrapped Startup Show

Our last podcast episode this 2020 summer!

You can be sure that I will bring a fantastic guest and here is Preetham with Superlemon.

This guy is fantastic, together with his friend and co-founder Sankalp who is also an engineer they have bootstrapped Superlemon to 350000 USD in Annual Revenue, 1700 paying customers in 50+ countries.

Pretty fantastic, right? Again, just 2 of them, no support, no marketing, just 4 hands, a lot of desire and buckets of coffee☕

I was intrigued to hear what these guys will say, so far work smart no hard applies to them - 100%.

Belkins is one of the companies whose sales process always amazed me.

Besides the fact that their lead generation brings amazing results for their clients,
they have some incredibly good tactics and processes.

I honestly haven't met that many companies where everything is so structured and by their own words this lifestyle brought "the best work on the market".

Vlad gladly accepted the invite and we will torture him to get all their sales secrets💉

Have no words to describe how cool and successful is our guest - Arvid Kahl 😎

Arvid grew and sold without outside investment in his business, Feedback Panda.

Then he started a podcast dedicated to helping startup founders.

Now, he's written a book - "Zero to Sold" which is a bestseller.📚

Everything this guy touches to transforms into gold :)

We thought if he agrees to join our show, maybe we can also become super popular.

We could not walk away from this idea so here we are!

Listen to our podcast and Arvid will make you successful, too :)

We will have a very unusual guest on our show, he is unusual because he is BOLD in each and every way.

Please meet Luc Vocks and DevelopmentAid!

Certainly, there will be a lot to learn from Luc and the challenges he passed through.

Do you want to be successful like Luc, no matter the risks? ⏬

Today we will meet 2 people with a very special business fate who really have the guts.

How else would you call them if not f...ing brave?

Marko Saric and Uku That decided to fight the Goliath of the industry - Google Analytics itself.

More than that, their product, plausible.io is a bootstrapped and privacy secure alternative to GA.

And they do have to pay clients and continue growing!

To me, that sounds like a fantastic story with a very strong narrative.

We will talk about the fight against Google, the skepticism, privacy, challenges, and making the web a better place to be.

Don't forget that you can include your question in the comment and we will make sure Marko and Uku will answer it.

See you there!

Today with Andrei we will discuss 2 approaches to Selling.
One of them is the same old Lead Generation which many people find very inefficient, the new kid on the block is Demand Generation which is being applied by more and more companies.

We are very excited to meet Nicolas Brunet who is a founder based in Thailand and has behind his back many years of experience developing a hardware product.

Combining the fun and nostalgia of Polaroid pictures with modern smartphone technology, Impressius gives event guests the opportunity to instantly upload and print their photos.

Between their customers, brands like BMW, Linkedin, Pandora, Toyota, Coca Cola, and Amazon.

Nicolas will join us to talk about the challenges of building a solid product, developing a product in Asia, selling to corporations, and staying afloat in the COVID times.

Our guest on Thursday, Nathan Hirsch knows everything about scaling with a remote workforce. It's an actual growth problem for many of us during COVID times.
His journey in his own words:
" I scaled a 25 million dollar Amazon business selling toys and baby products.
Taking into consideration it was just me and my business partner, Connor Gillivan, and a team of 35 rockstar virtual assistants. No office and no US employees."
He will share with us the challenges he faced, the tips and tricks of scaling, hiring VA's, and managing a remote team.
Don't be shy join us for good!

Let's hear the guru himself speak and show how it is ✅

Finally, I persuaded Andrei to be interviewed for the podcast and I will make sure, he spills all of his knowledge to you.

Besides being one of the most thoughtful founders I have ever seen, he is also very efficient and leading right now 5 different projects in addition to being a great dad to his 2 kids. I was shocked when I heard how much he keeps on his shoulders.

He truly understands the power of planning and building a full-funnel journey in his life and business with a no BS approach.

Rick Carlson is truly unique, he has launched several enterprises with next to no funding and was successful with almost all of them, everything he touches works well.

He is an avid advocate & promoter for entrepreneurship and likes to describe himself as a simple guy thriving to live up to his potential and bring massive value to the world.

Lives by the motto: Go get what’s yours!

In this episode he shares:

- His challenges 
- You need a systematic process for people 
- Worst decisions he made
