Rob Walling is the godfather of bootstrapped SaaS - a serial entrepreneur who has started six companies (five bootstrapped), sold Drip in an 8-figure acquisition to Leadpages, co-founded MicroConf (the original community for bootstrapped B2B SaaS founders), and launched TinySeed, a category-leading accelerator that has invested in 230+ companies with a 43% millionaire rate among exited founders. He hosts 'Startups for the Rest of Us' (800+ episodes, 15M+ downloads), has published five best-selling books, and champions the idea that a sustainable, founder-owned company beats the VC treadmill every time.
Justin Jackson is a Canadian entrepreneur and co-founder of Transistor.fm, a bootstrapped podcast hosting platform he built from $33 in first-month revenue to over $1M ARR with just his co-founder Jon Buda. He's a leading voice in the indie bootstrapping movement, author of 'Marketing for Developers', founder of the MegaMaker community, and an advocate for 'calm companies' that prioritize profit, freedom, and founder wellbeing over venture-scale growth.
