Hi, I’m Rob. I’ve started six companies and had multiple exits, including Drip.
I’ve been helping bootstrapped startup founders for 18 years.
I’ve written four books about startups, including the playbook on how to bootstrap a SaaS, The SaaS Playbook.
I co-founded the original conference and community for bootstrapped SaaS founders, MicroConf.
And started TinySeed, the first accelerator designed for SaaS bootstrappers.
I’ve invested in more than 170 startups (including WP Engine and SparkToro), but I don’t believe the only way to start a SaaS company is to raise money.
“Rob is one of the most pay-it-forward founders I know.”
Podcast
I host the most popular podcast for bootstrappers, called Startups for the Rest of Us. It has more than 15 million downloads and 1000 five-star ratings.
Conference & Online Community
I run the most well known conference and online community for bootstrapped SaaS founders, called MicroConf.
We have a Slack group with more than 5,000 founders, and we host several conferences per year to help motivate and connect founders like yourself.
In addition, I’ve…
- Written one of the bibles about bootstrapping software products, Start Small, Stay Small.
- Been interviewed in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Inc.
- Written north of 100 essays on startups
- Reached hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs through my interviews, talks, podcasts, and writing
