After spending years dreaming about going full indie hacker, I finally took the leap. The first 3 months were brutal — zero revenue, constant self-doubt. But month 4 changed everything when I launched on Product Hunt and landed my first 40 paying customers.
Churn was killing us. We were growing 15% MoM but losing almost as many customers. Here's the exact playbook we used: exit surveys, win-back campaigns, and a complete onboarding overhaul that cut time-to-value in half.
I spent 8 months building my app, crafted the perfect Product Hunt post, emailed my entire list. Launch day: 47 upvotes, 3 signups. I'm not going to sugarcoat it — it was devastating. But here's exactly what I'd do differently.
We were stuck at $8k MRR for 4 months. Took the scary step of tripling our pricing. Lost 20% of customers, gained 3 enterprise accounts. Net result: $16k MRR. Here's how we positioned the change to minimize churn.
We made it to final round with 3 different VCs. Lost all three. After some brutal honest feedback, I identified the one slide that was sinking us every time. Sharing it here so you don't make the same mistake.
People always ask how I find time to work on side projects with a full-time job and two kids. The answer isn't sexy: I wake up at 5:30am and work for 90 minutes before my family wakes up. 18 months of this compound.
