Top Founders · Genius Affiliate Strategy Helps Bootstrapper Hit $27,000,000 Revenue · 15 Aug 2024 podcast

I can't share specifics, but I think there were a lot of interesting conversations around the topic.

And we decided to split things up based on how much money each founder was putting in at the time because we fully bootstrapped and it was out of our pockets.

And then about the amount of effort that each was putting in at what stage.

So Martha and I were completely full in at the beginning.

And obviously she was working full time at HoneyBook.

And we were very diligent about making sure that that there was no overlap in that time there.

So that she was basically moonlighting and pulling an eight hour day in the evenings after work.

So she and I were definitely like full time employees.

a hundred percent from the beginning.

And then our technical co-founder, um, had his other company going at the same time and went full time, um, within a, about a year and a half of the company launching.

$90,000.

Oh, great.

Oh my goodness.

So I love telling this story because I think a lot of people are almost confused about how we had product market fit even from day one.

But the truth is that we actually had a viable product before we touched a line of code.

And I know that sounds nuts, but when we were first starting, Martha and I had crazy amounts of customer interviews.

We probably spoke to 100 to 200 people from our target audience because it was just the water we were swimming in, right?

It was the people that we were

already hanging out with.

And they were my customers and people that she had relationships with through HoneyBook.
