Hi there,
Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. I am back from the Uneed Residency now. Feels weird being back to my usual routine and not being in a house full of founders.
Thanks to Alex for sponsoring today.

$4m for Papermark
Congrats to Iuliia for reaching $4m ARR with Papermark. It's an open source alternative to Docsend. It's a good time to be open source!
Railway employee attacks hosting company
Josh Manders' hosting company PrimCloud got attacked by a Railway employee this week who passed it off as a mistake by an AI agent. How did Josh catch them?
They signed up with a fake name but used their personal credit card. Ooopsie.
Postiz Uneed video
A funny video from Nevo, who I met at the Uneed residency. He goes round the house asking people to say bad things about his product. This guy understands that marketing is about getting mind-share now.
$5k for directory SaaS
Congrats to Venelin for increasing his revenue in October to $5k. He runs a SaaS which lets you make directories.
He actually bought it from Serg, another Uneed Residency founder.
I made $8,400 in October
I had a good month. Not as good as July and August but still very healthy and a lot better than most months I've had as a founder 😀
I had a week of holiday and then I spent a week in France, where I was mostly focused on website fixes and not doing sales.
The money came from a mix of doing social media for founders and selling adverts in this newsletter.
End notes
