The TinySeed Millionaire Rate is 43%.

Definition: Of @tinyseedfund companies no longer in operation (sold OR shut down), 43% of those founders are now millionaires.💰

This % will obviously change over time. It's still early, and the numbers are still small (~2% of companies have shut down. ~4% have sold).

But this is yet another reminder of how resilient and insanely valuable SaaS companies are.

Personally, I find this number incredible. Much higher than I would have expected, and it brings me nothing but joy knowing the lives that have been changed through entrepreneurship.

@Mr_Indie_Hacker It didn't change the order; it changed some of the approaches. And a couple things can be done faster.

📚 Idea to Traction is out today 🔥

It's the book I wish I'd had before I wasted months building things nobody wanted. Everything from finding an idea worth pursuing to landing your first paying customers, rewritten for a world where AI can build your product in a weekend.

AI can build your product. It can't tell you if anyone will pay for it.

Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered. It hit #1 New Release before it was even out. 🙏

It's available in hardcover, Kindle, and on Audible, narrated by me. If you've heard the podcast, you know exactly what you're in for. My same dulcet tones and a lack of interruptions from Einar. 🎙️

🔥 Last call: the pre-order bonuses are still open until midnight Eastern tonight. Buy the hardcover today and you get:

✅ The ebook or audiobook free
✅ Four tools from the book to find and validate your next idea

In this episode of @startupspod I talk about how AI has changed the early-stage startup landscape.

And I love the quote from @earthlingworks I reference in this video about how you can build without talking to any potential customers and you will build the worst possible version of your product.

[Startups For the Rest of Us @startupspod]

You can build a product in a day now.
That doesn’t mean anyone wants it.

This week, @RobWalling talks about his new book, Idea to Traction, and why every repeat founder he knows still talks to customers before writing a line of code.

The SaaS Institute has grown faster than our coaching bench, so we’re hiring!

We’re looking for coaches who help founders scale from 7 to 8 figures, through hiring, building a leadership team, and figuring out what matters most.

Part-time and remote. We bring the clients, you coach. https://t.co/1CTTjWzcr3

@Dhirajray1995 A lot has changed, but I would still give the same advice today.
