Taylor Crane and I are hosting a dinner in NYC on Thurs Nov 19 for bootstrapped founders. Because...it gets lonely building by yourself and VC dominates the NYC tech events scene. Are you bootstrapped at $10K/mo+? We'd love to hang with you. Details below.
And fun fact... this is how Taylor and I first met...at a bootstrapped founder dinner series called Dimes Square Ventures (a sorta counter-vc theme). The goal is for this dinner to develop into a core group of bootstrapped founders that can build and learn and share and commiserate.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐:
Me - founder of 3 different saas products (Cover Letter Copilot, Interview Sidekick, SalesEcho), and collectively doing $45k MRR between them. I'm now currently working on growing his personal brand audience (30k followers across ig & youtube)
Taylor Crane - founder of Fractional Jobs, doing ~$60K/mo revenue. He's currently working on removing himself from some of the day-to-day Ops so he can focus on growth.

- 100% bootstrapped
- Generating at least $10K / mo revenue
- For those building tech products and tech-enabled services (not consultancies or agencies)
- Based in NYC (also duh!)

Favor to ask! Do you know a NYC-based bootstrapped founder? Can you send this post to them? They're probably building and not browsing Linkedin, and we'd love to meet them.
Claude found the people who run partnerships at Anthropic and verified three work emails for about 11 cents, using Monid. #ad

My Raspberry Pi Amazon Go store kept charging me for stuff I never took, so I spent fifteen minutes training YOLO on my own table and now it gets every receipt right.

I turned my office into my own Amazon Go store with a Raspberry Pi and a $10 camera, and it took over ten tries before the receipt came out right.

TikTok scores every video on how likely you are to like, comment and keep watching, and the highest score is your next swipe.

Jev 1.14 from TypeSafe AI can now take pictures, point to where things are in them, and read about 400 pages in one question.

i made the CEOs of the S&P 500 all play rock paper scissors against each other, with jev picking every throw.
the whole tournament took under 10 seconds and cost half a cent.
lisa su knocked out sundar pichai in round 1. kim dang from kinder morgan won it.

Smart idea!
NEVER SEEN A PODCAST DO THIS:
We auction our sponsor slot for @thegodmodepod.
brands outbid each other in public.
winner gets 1-2 mins on camera.
we click their site and give a real take.
current high: $11.
Bid now godmodepod.com/bid

This is an awesome concept! Just signed up for Test Drive...where real indie hackers can try products out and give feedback. Highly recommend.

Eligible drivers: practice one realistic sales or discovery call, then post your honest take.
What did you try?
What surprised you?
What would you change?
A video of you taking the call is highly encouraged.

family reactions to MRR:
> $100 MRR: "you need a job"
> $500 MRR: "you need a job"
> $1k MRR: "yeah, but you need a job"
> $2k MRR: "yeah, but a job earns more"
> $3k MRR: "okay, do what you want"
> $5k MRR: "what exactly do you do?"
> $10k MRR: "are you sure this is stable?"
> $100k MRR: "you were always a smart kid"
Everyone's talking about hands-off automation with Clawdbot.
That's not how I use it.
I don't want my AI to do everything without me.
I want to collaborate.
โ Support email comes in โ Clawdbot drafts a response โ I say "SEND"
โ Creator posts on TikTok โ Clawdbot scrapes views, updates my sheet โ I review the summary
โ Morning โ Clawdbot checks tasks, weather, calendar โ I read a 30-sec briefing
It handles the typing, the scraping, the formatting.
I make the calls.
Went from pilot to air traffic controller.
Same outcomes. Way less time in the weeds.
