About this video

Getting from $1M to$10M breaks founders in a completely different way — and most never see it coming.

I sat down with Julien Marzouk, one of our coaches at SaaS Institute, who has coached hundreds of 7 and 8-figure SaaS founders. Across all of those engagements, he sees the same 6 patterns show up again and again.

Pattern #3 is the one I fell into myself at Drip — it burned me out, and I'll tell you that story in the video.

I’ve started six companies (five of them bootstrapped) and exited multiple times, most notably selling Drip in 2016.

I’ve invested in over 200 startups, and my focus is on helping founders build multimillion-dollar companies without the pressure of the traditional "unicorn or bust" venture capital model.
