#32 Building a $20M App in Public: The Bootstrapped Blueprint to $27K/M Revenue

What if you could build a $20 million app with zero funding, all while sharing every win and struggle with the world?

In this episode of "From Garage To Growth," we chart the incredible journey of Hamish McKay, the 23-year-old founder who bootstrapped his Shopify app, Order Editing, to a staggering $27,000 a month in revenue. In "The Bootstrapped Blueprint," Hamish reveals how he turned a common e-commerce headache into a multi-million dollar solution.

We discuss:

🔹 The "Aha!" Moment: How working in customer service for a major merchandise company revealed a multi-million dollar problem.

🔹 The Anti-Marketing Playbook: How Hamish used radical transparency on LinkedIn, sharing the raw exhaustion and the wins to create massive FOMO, land clients like Audi, Mr. Beast and build a brand so loyal that competitors can't touch it.

🔹 The Power of Patience: Why Hamish deliberately waited two years to launch, focusing on strategic upskilling and building a financial safety net.

🔹 From Cost-Saver to Revenue-Driver: How Order Editing not only slashed customer support tickets but also created a powerful new upselling channel for major brands.

🔹 The Founder's Philosophy: Unpacking the "backward mapping" technique Hamish used to meticulously plan and execute his entrepreneurial leap.

🔹 The Human Connection: Why sharing the unfiltered reality of startup life the exhaustion and the triumphs is the most powerful marketing tool you have.

🔹 The First Big Win: The story of how one transparent LinkedIn post landed Audi as their very first customer.

🚀 Hamish McKay’s story is a powerful blueprint for any entrepreneur who believes in building a sustainable, profitable business on their own terms.
