i'm sure you've seen the interviews on indiehackers.com, but there are many more bootstrapped companies on their way up! many to watch out for.

For sure! IndieHackers is great and I hope to include many of those companies in the future. What we were trying to do was show that you could build big and substantial businesses. Too many people dismiss bootstrapping as a way to build lifestyle businesses when in fact it's a way to build public companies.

In some cases we featured some companies that had $10M+ revenues and extraordinary success in PR (Cards Against Humanity) or found some cool funding method (e.g. Kickstarter and CMON). LMK if there are any IndieHacker interviews you think deserve inclusion.

Thanks!
