In this episode, we speak to Iron Brands, Co-Founder of Simple Analytics, one of Europe’s most exciting bootstrapped stories. Iron and his co-founder Adriaan are on a mission to make analytics simple and privacy friendly, sharing their journey towards €1m ARR publicly.
Iron shared so many insights, you’re gonna have to listen to the whole thing, but some highlights include:
How he felt he needed to raise until he discovered the bootstrapped way
How he and his co-founder came together and built their partnership on trust
The importance of finding channel-product fit
A horribly awkward moment during an enterprise sales call 🫢
The model he made for choosing whether to invest or collab on an idea
And why he hates LinkedIn but uses it anyway.
And as always, we shared a “kudos” and a “facepalm” of the week and Iron answered some rapid-fire questions.
