Info

I’m a serial entrepreneur who’s started six companies (five bootstrapped). Most recently, I sold Drip. I run MicroConf, the original community for SaaS founders.

I’ve also invested in more than 230 startups including WP Engine and Sparktoro. I co-founded TinySeed, a world-class accelerator for B2B SaaS. 43% of portfolio founders who have sold or shut down their companies have become millionaires.

My podcast, Startups for the Rest of Us, has over 800 episodes and more than 15 million downloads, and I’ve written five best-selling startup books, including The SaaS Playbook and Start Small, Stay Small.
