EE 325 - Vinny Breslin - Bootstrapped to $3 Million Revenue Before Windfall Sale
Vinny Breslin, the co-founder of Uplisting, recounts the gripping tale of how a bootstrapped idea soared to an annual recurring revenue of $3 Million and processed an astonishing $400 million for clients.
Vinny built UpListing before selling in late 2023 to Airdna for an undisclosed amount.
His success is a testament to innovation and grit, revealing the transformative power of remote collaboration. The founders didn't meet in person for 2 years!
This story isn't just about celebrating milestones; it's a deep-dive into the perseverance and tech-savvy required to refine an industry.
We hear how Vinny hunted in Facebook groups for his first customers and kept a ruthlessly simple metric to focus the company on growth.
Vinny's personal account of the transition from founder to post-sale life is rich with raw emotion and candid revelations about the entrepreneurial grind. We explore the evolving definition of success, appreciating the less-trodden paths that stray from VC funding and flashy headlines.
