$2m ARR for Postiz💰

Hi there,

Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. I'm back from a week off and it honestly felt a lot longer! I had a change of scenery and created some new neural pathways. It's great to come back to my work with fresh eyes.

I've had lots of meetings this week and signed a couple of new ghostwriting and SEO clients. I just about have capacity for someone else so gimme a shout if you need help with marketing! Or just book a call https://calendly.com/pete-codes/chat

$2m ARR for Postiz

Well done to Nevo for reaching $2m ARR with his social media scheduling tool. It's pretty incredible that he's entered a crowded space and pulled it off. It seems like making it open-source was great for getting publicity and he's riding the wave of AI agents.

UseVoicy hits $10k MRR

Congrats to Kourosh for making $10k in monthly recurring revenue! His app Voicy is a speech to text product which competes with the likes of OtterAI.

He has only been working on it for 18 months and he still has a day job.

I think it's best to take this approach - don't quite your job right away.

Don't add your phone number online

Funny post here from the NomadTable founder. He had to publish a support phone number for his app. He used his personal number and then got loads of customer support calls from people.

Not really what you want!

Design MCP from Danny Postma

This is a pretty great deal! Danny Postma, the founder of HeadshotPro, is giving away a free component library MCP from his many successful website designs.

A lot of AI-designed websites look identical so this could be a good way to add some personality.

Jason Cohen starts new podcast

Jason Cohen has started a bunch of highly successful companies, both bootstrapped and VC, such as WP Engine. Jason has been a prolific writer and now he's adding a podcast/YouTube show into the mix.

Smart Bear Live sees Jason talk with a founder on how they can get unstuck and he is very direct. So it's like a no-BS advice call-in show for entrepreneurs. The first episode is with Dymtro, who I met in Nantes recently, who is at $33k MRR and is wanting to grow more.

Nice first episode!
