John Rush - $400k ARR with 6 projects while bootstrapping, Going out of cash with a VC-backed startup and pivoting, Moving to a tax friendly country, The sovereign individual

John Rush - Bootstrapper of more than 20 projects with 6 of them with $400k ARR and previously a co-founder and CTO of the VC-backed company Filmgrail.

After following the investor advice to raise a Series A and expand the market, they almost ran out of cash and went bankrupt. They had to give up the unicorn dream and pivot into a regular midsize profitable business.

After this learning John is a strong advocate of bootstrapping having currently more than 20 projects while enjoying more free time for his hobbies and family. You can check his projects at johnrush.me

In this episode we discuss why not all ideas should raise venture capital, why he moved from Norway to Turkey and the 3 years tax free visa program and why Europe needs more bootstrappers.

Enjoy!
