I made this post exactly a year ago about my goals for @chatbase for 2025. We’re now doing over $8M ARR and growing fast. We had a lot of wins in 2025 but also made a lot of mistakes. I think the biggest mistake bootstrapped founders make is acting like a bootstrapped founder

Awesome achievement at the start of the year. My "small" indie app business reached $30k MRR 🙌🎉 0 - 10k: 2.5 years 10 - 20k: 2 months 20k - 30k: 1 year

SaaS startup I built solo just hit $500 MRR in 8 weeks ❤️🥹 But this is the real win 👇 - Quit my 9–5 in July 2025 with $0 revenue - No product - 2-year runway - 5 months of negative cash flow, doubts This month, for the first time, I didn’t touch my savings to pay – startup

I made $46,150 in December 2025. 🍐 CalBuddy - $46.1K 🚀 Revenue grew by 107% month-over-month. I'm glad that I managed to reduce the churn and refund rate by 30%, which indicates that the growth is healthy. Looking forward to 10x that in 2026 💪
