Back to EpisodesHow Anthony Eden Built DNSimple to $7 Million a Year With a 19-Person Team
Description
Anthony Eden shares how he turned a frustrating DNS experience into DNSimple, a bootstrapped company now generating around $7 million in annual revenue with more than 19,000 customers and a 19-person team. He explains how public speaking, Twitter, customer feedback, and a well-timed competitor campaign helped drive early growth while he built the business part-time.
Anthony also breaks down why he never raised outside funding, how he thinks about founder compensation and sustainable growth, and how AI is changing software development inside the company. He also shares what happened when Google AI Overviews contributed to a roughly 30% drop in search traffic and how DNSimple is responding.
