I reached $120k ARR (10k MRR) in 1 year. AMA

Hey!

I launched Founders Cafe (https://founderscafe.io) on Reddit/Discord a year ago, and grew it to $120k ARR in 1 year.

Founders Cafe is an intimate community of early stage, solo-ish founders from Stanford, YC, and more. Four founders raised $1-8m each recently, two of them being solo founders.

Right now, Founders Cafe has 180 paid customers and has $10k MRR. My main channel of customer acquisition has been through Twitter/Discord and word of mouth.

AMA!

    Congrats Maddie, feels good doesn't it?

    I'm curoius if you did anything with Product Hunt yet? Are you doing any paid advertising? Where did you find the discords that were the most beneficial for sign ups/conversions?

    Just followed you on Twitter to follow the journey..
