We're #188 on this year’s Inc. 5000!
Starting a company is hard. Getting to your first dollar is hard. Getting to $1M is hard. Making the Inc. 5000 is hard.
Companies needed at least $2M in 2025 to qualify, then were ranked by three year revenue growth.
@churnkey grew 1,815%, putting us #188 overall, #15 in Artificial Intelligence & Data, and #3 in South Carolina.
I’ll probably write a little more this week about the less glamorous parts of that journey.
WE SOLD WAVVE. 🤯
It started as passive income dream... that one day we'd earn enough to pay our mortgages.
Now, it's going to change my entire family tree.
Here's a BIG THREAD with all the juicy details about selling @wavve.
Embarrassing confession that I haven't shared publicly until now.
A few years ago, I owed $250,000 in student loans.
Mega thread on:
- Student Loans
- America's debt addiction
- Learning to code
- Bootstrapping a Business
- Asymmetric risks (ex/ #Bitcoin)
When @BairdHall and I started bootstrapping @wavve a few years ago, we dreamed that some day it would generate enough income to pay our mortgages.
Today we crossed a milestone that’s pretty hard to believe. $1,000,000 in all-time revenue. 🎉🎉
