The Tagline

Bootstrapped founders sharing their revenue numbers and growth strategies.

Full Review

Indie Hackers is the podcast for entrepreneurs building profitable businesses without venture capital. Courtland Allen interviews founders of small but profitable internet businesses — SaaS tools, newsletters, marketplaces — who share their actual revenue numbers, growth strategies, and lessons learned. The show is a counterpoint to the Silicon Valley 'raise money and blitz scale' narrative, proving that there are many paths to building wealth through business ownership.

Fun Fact

Courtland sold Indie Hackers to Stripe in 2017, then continued running it as a passion project within the company. The community forum has become a gathering place for tens of thousands of bootstrapped entrepreneurs.
