#Bootstrapped Founder

Why I sold my first company (totallyscience.co) 🚀 #zachyadegari #app #motivation #tech #technology #business #entreprenuer #startup #bootstrapped

This Delhi based bootstrapped founder has just made Rs 1000 crores... He is a Gold Medalist from Delhi College of Engineering... and started his company in 2010 - 15 years ago... He built a software called VWO that tests websites and suggests the design and buttons that should be placed on a website to increase sales... His clients ended up becoming giants like Domino’s, Nvidia, Paytm... So much that he scaled it to over Rs 300 crores of annual revenue... all profitably. And now, a fund from Singapore has bought his company, Wingify, for Rs 1700 crores... and he has sold his 70% stake to them. He got a revenue multiple of about 5X - which is very fair since SaaS startups typically get about 8-10X of their ARR in valuation In the same week, another set of founders sold their D2C company, making Rs 1000 crores again... but the acquisition happened at almost 10X the revenue multiple, when the fair valuation should’ve ideally been closer to 3X That is the Minimalist acquired by HUL... again an engineering grad from IIT Roorkee. Both engineers, between 35-38 years of age... similar outcomes despite different business models and valuations. While I’m intrigued to compare both of their astrological charts, my observations really are as below... 1/ The startup funding and acquisition boom is coming back... and the second half of 2025 should be a fabulous time for startups to raise capital... Also falling in sync with the global liquidity cycle expected to peak in 2026. 2/ While the exit Minimalist got is a huge exception, the exit for Wingify is as fair as it can be. And B2B SaaS remains to be one of the best business models to build for bootstrapped entrepreneurs even with AI building software. The moat is in what you can sell. #casarthakahuja

I have far more respect for bootstrapped small businesses that are profitable than for funded startups with hundreds of crores in revenue but no profits because It takes courage to book even a small amount of profit without any external funding support.

raise money or stay solo bootstrapped?

How I feel running a startup doing over $1M/mo in revenue. Happy to answer any questions in the comments. #entreprenuer #startup #app #zachyadegari #technology #tech #bootstrapped #business #motivation

You do not need to raise money for your MILLION dollar idea anymore. You just need to execute and start!! Coming from someone that did it.

I learned the hard way that lacking structure and solid SOPs is far more dangerous than losing your most competent employee. . . . . . . . . . . . . . founder, entrepreneur, d2c, ecommerceindia, buildinginpublic, brandjourney, bootstrapped, handmadeinindia, founderstory

In 2015, when I began my journey in content creation, my goal was to open 3-4 gyms in Mumbai. But now, after 9 years in this journey, I’ve realized the true potential of the content creation business. In the past 3 years, we have grown exponentially because we set the right systems, processes, and teams in place. During this time, we’ve also built two parallel, bootstrapped businesses through our content creation. Most content creators fail to realize that each one of them has the potential to build a personal brand and establish multiple businesses. My team, @teambeerbiceps @beerbiceps_skillhouse, has developed a blueprint from our learnings on what it takes to evolve from content creator to content entrepreneur. We’ve compiled 9 years of experience into 6 hours of recordings in our course—‘Monetizing Content Creation.’ This course is designed for every content creator out there.
