How was his compensation versus joining a vc backed firm with options that reaches $100M ARR? Bootstrapped is better for founders, it’s the holy grail so would love to hear how he started. But also for employees do they participate meaningfully in upside?

Good question. I did not explore that with Danny.
I would love to know the early days of bootstrapping....I think bootstrapped SaaS is the new American dream.
This is gold!.. wow.. so much to learn and such a generous share!
Really glad you found it valuable, Sudhakar!
Another great one Kyle!
Thanks Danny for sharing. Wow, almost $1m ARR Per Employee: that's really amazing. Huge congrats.
I'm not sure I've seen that before in a private SaaS. Maybe 37signals? Any other company that comes to mind? Incredible efficiency.
Amazing content, Kyle. Great insights, Danny. So glad to see Brian/Chris thriving 👏 in market. Long way from the days of Paglo.
Glad the piece resonated, Cam!
Thanks for sharing this story! Really great and detailed insights in how they succeeded and made their way from early on. 🙌
🚀 🚀
Great stuff and perfect timing for me. Thank you!
Glad to hear it!
I love the mindset and process of sales-assisted instead of sales-led growth for PLG. Excellent read
+1! Love the rise of PLG paired with sales-assist
This would be a great blueprint for anyone looking to start this function. I wish I had read this a year ago.
