Description
There's nothing quite like going from 0 to an 8-figure+ acquisition, especially on your first startup. And 100% bootstrapped!
Aydin, the founder of Fluidware and now founder of Fellow, shares the story of his humble beginnings as a Jr Engineer, to launching a startup that would compete with SurveyMonkey and ultimately join their ranks.
Notably, Aydin never raised money at Fluidware. While it had its downside, it enabled him and his team to solve customer problems without worrying about the market size or the big picture. Each step helped them discover new insights and led them closer to product-market fit.
