I’m Cem I built puzzleinbox,com to $130k MRR and now we’re building glasa.io. We’ve spoken with VCs about raising but with high margins we realised we’re in a position where we can keep bootstrapping if we want So far we’ve put around $75k of our own money into Glasa If I had to start from 0 again here’s exactly what I’d do 1. Think about distribution before product A lot of founders spend months building something and only start thinking about customers when it’s ready We did the opposite Before Glasa was polished we already knew who we wanted to sell to and how we were going to reach them 2. Pick a problem people already spend money on Revenue generation is not a nice to have Companies already spend thousands on lead data inboxes outreach software SDRs agencies and enrichment We didn’t need to convince people the problem existed We just needed to solve it better 3. Talk to customers before building everything A lot of Glasa came from seeing the same problems over and over again Too many tools Too much setup Bad data Complicated outbound No idea what is actually generating revenue 20 conversations with real customers will teach you more than another month sitting in Figma 4. Sell the outcome Nobody wakes up wanting another piece of software They want more leads More meetings More pipeline More revenue Once we started thinking like this a lot of product decisions became much easier 5. Use your own product We used Glasa ourselves before properly pushing it That showed us what was actually useful and what sounded good on paper but nobody really needed It also meant we were finding problems before our customers did 6. Keep the team small A small team with the right people can move incredibly fast You don’t need 30 employees when you’re starting You need people who can build sell and make decisions without everything becoming a meeting 7. Put your own money behind it We’ve invested around $75k of our own money into Glasa We’ve also spoken with VCs and raising is still an option But because the margins are high we don’t need to raise just to keep the company alive Being able to choose whether you raise is a much better position than needing to raise 8. When something works push harder The product wasn’t perfect and it still isn’t But people wanted it Instead of disappearing for another 6 months to make everything perfect we kept selling talking to customers and improving it We’re still extremely early and there’s a lot we want to build But if I had to start again I’d spend much less time trying to make everything perfect And much more time getting something useful in front of real customers
