Precisely six years in the past (to the day!), Stripe acquired Indie Hackers to assist us develop and encourage hundreds of thousands of individuals constructing on-line companies.
At the moment, I am completely happy to announce that @channingallen and I are indie hackers once more!
Particularly, this implies we’re again to working Indie Hackers as a standalone enterprise, owned by the founders. Though we’re not a part of Stripe, Stripe continues to be supportive of IH as an investor to assist us get going.
This has been about 4 months within the making. Branching out on our personal is one thing we mutually selected with Stripe, and we’re enthusiastic about it!
It goes with out saying that I am extremely grateful for Stripe’s perception and help of Indie Hackers over time. It nonetheless blows my thoughts that @patrickc reached out and took an opportunity on us after we had been only a tiny bootstrapped firm ourselves, that we had been in a position to run freely and autonomously regardless of being a part of a a lot larger firm, and that we now have the possibility to personal Indie Hackers once more. Stripe could not have dealt with issues any higher, and I need to personally thank @patrickc and everybody else at Stripe for his or her help by the years.
So what now?
Nicely, if we need to survive and thrive, we will need to generate income identical to another enterprise! I am an entrepreneur at coronary heart and all the time have been. Actually, working at Stripe was my first and solely salaried job.
Proper now we’re sitting at precisely $0 in MRR, so the journey is simply now (re)beginning.
I am fired up!!! 🔥🔥🔥
