Bootstrapped milestone: just paid off our first business loan. We took $30K SBA in year one. 3 years later — paid in full, cash-flow positive, no equity given away. Slow and steady really does win. 💪
SpaBridge is profitable. Not "ramen profitable" — actually paying ourselves market salaries and growing 15% month-over-month. We never raised. Bootstrapping taught us one thing VC funding never could: you get really good at saying no. 🧵
Marketplace founders: your supply side is your moat. We spent year one obsessively recruiting and retaining the best independent massage therapists in Miami. The demand side followed. Most people get this backwards.
