Not a successful self-funded entrepreneur but Im working on it and I’ve studied a lot of the greats.
DHH and Jason Fried blog and books like Rework
Arvid Kahl is a successful software bootstrapper and has a few great books and a bootstrapper newsletter
Everything by Rob Walling is focused on software bootstrappers, and his associates brands / YouTube channel, Microconf community etc
Indie Hackers podcast , interviews, and website
Founders at Work is written by a YC founder but ironically had lots of bootstrapped interviews like Craigslist and Joel Spolsky (Trello)
Patio11 blog is classic
MJ Demarco is non tech and writes more “motivational” style books about bootstrapped entrepreneurship
Once you go down this rabbit hole you’ll discover many more . Especially since bootstrappers love making content about their experiences as it’s marketing and potentially more revenue (what DHH calls “selling your byproducts”)
