Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. An AI agent emailed last night about buying a newsletter advert slot. It was pretty wild.

Buffer hits $25m

Congrats to Buffer for reaching $25m in annual recurring revenue. It's a major achievement for a bootstrapped company, especially since they had a dip around the 2021-2022 period.

Buffer has also been a trail blazer in terms of building in public and being transparent about revenue and salaries.

Webflow price increase

Webflow are increasing the prices for their standard CMS site plan. It's going up from $29/month to $39/month. You'll get more CMS items but even so...

I reckon a lot of founders will just make sites with Astro and host for free on Cloudflare or Netlify. Cloudflare is experimenting with its own CMS. Or you could use the Sanity free plan or just use markdown files.

There are headaches if you are moving a huge site but for something like a small marketing or porfolio website, I'd definitely re-build it in Claude and host a static site for free.
