Exited bootstrapped founder,
writing from Tokyo.
About
I’ve been building tech companies for over 20 years. Most recently, I bootstrapped Gymdesk to 7 figure ARR and an 8 figure exit to private equity.
Now I invest and mentor early stage bootstrapped founders, and acquire micro SaaS products through Indiemand Ventures.
