Today we raised $145m to fund bootstrappers here on Twitter! Get up to $3m in non-dilutive capital overnight from @FounderpathHQ Figured I'd prove it by wiring a bunch of you today. Tag the bootstrapped SaaS founder you admire most below... ❤️My favorites: 🧵A thread 👇

@c_valenzuelab just signed up and started playing around with Runway. super impressed

The creative team behind Salomon’s latest global brand campaign shared how they’re using Runway to explore new visual territories and uncover fresh creative directions. Today, they’re also collaborating with brands including Balenciaga, Coty, Puma, and Moët & Chandon. Check out our conversation with Paris-based creative studio Unveil.

@coreyhainesco actually insane!

Been so busy shipping that I almost missed it! Officially passed 30,000 stars on GitHub 🎉 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@haukejung keep going!

First month self-employed: Got 800 followers on X, 3 products in motion, and 1 paying customer, some are trialing. Not exactly empire numbers. But it is real. Someone paid. People are watching. I am still shipping. So honestly, pretty good first month. Cheers☕️ #buildinpublic

@pitdesi @ritwikpavan i love my nomatic for the same reasons

@ritwikpavan I have only ever traveled with a backpack (never used a roller bag). You move faster/easier. For 7-10 days of clothes I’d highly recommend a 40-45L This is a great budget option a.co/d/0e5gsZXR This one is better: peakdesign.com/products/trave…

need suitcase recs. what i’m looking for: - removable laptop sleeve - fits 7–10 days of clothes - high quality for regular travel - compact and not too heavy what would you recommend?

@DmytroKrasun this is awesome

I launched ScreenshotOne.com on May 29, 2022, 4 years ago 🥳 Since then, it has grown to $33K MRR with over 1,000 paying customers and executed more than 100,000,000 API requests. It is nothing impressive compared to the recent successes of people making millions in months after launch. But for me, it was life-changing: 0. A lot of luck involved, but I proved to myself I can achieve things. 1. Build my life the way I want it. 2. This allowed me to spend a lot of time with my kids and family. I almost didn’t miss any important events for them. 3. To fund pleasures. I have been reading every day, traveling, and meeting interesting people. 4. To give back to others and sponsor certain projects/people. One of the biggest successes for me is that I found ways to sustain my motivation to work on the product, and I don't see why I would stop. Grateful to everyone who supported me on this journey. And onto the next chapter. 🚀 Ask me anything.

I believe this would be the largest Austin startup valuation ever 🚀

@RoKhanna You haven't answered my question. It was a simple yes/no question. If you start a company that grows really fast and your stock becomes valuable as a result, is that hoarding wealth?

@madebythomasai $40k is wild. Congrats. How’d you set pricing?

big news! 🥳 got into YC solo founder with $40k monthly revenue! building Thomas: the first YC-backed AI founder (yep, we cloned myself) Thomas is a virtual human who starts, runs, and grows his own companies. His only goal is to make money. Once launched, he works forever toward that goal. More info in the first comment! And about YC: just as wonderful as I expected, very lucky to have @dessaigne and @collinmathilde as partners. More soon 🙌🥳

In 2020, I stumbled onto @NathanLatka's podcast. I was a broke student in Macedonia, coding my first startup, dreaming about maybe one day launching my own company. Latka's podcast completely rewired my brain. 🤯 For the first time ever, I heard real SaaS founders sharing real growth tactics, real revenue numbers that seemed impossible, hiring journeys, product launches... I was obsessed. Learning everything. Sending episodes to my co-founder, Stefan. From that moment, I had a dream: build something "worthy enough" to get featured on his show. ........ Fast forward to May 2026, Croatia. Got to meet Nathan face to face and hang out during the conference. A few years ago, being on Nathan's podcast felt like a fantasy. This week we shared the stage at @SaaStanak. Nathan, sometimes impact is invisible in real time. It only reveals itself when it walks up to shake your hand (and share a few dozen beers) 🍻

@nikolak47 this makes me happy. glad the show gave you extra motivation! enjoyed watching you on stage - great storytelling! more to come🚀🚀
