The TinySeed Millionaire Rate is 43%.

Definition: Of @tinyseedfund companies no longer in operation (sold OR shut down), 43% of those founders are now millionaires.πŸ’°

This % will obviously change over time. It's still early, and the numbers are still small (~2% of companies have shut down. ~4% have sold).

But this is yet another reminder of how resilient and insanely valuable SaaS companies are.

Personally, I find this number incredible. Much higher than I would have expected, and it brings me nothing but joy knowing the lives that have been changed through entrepreneurship.

πŸ“š Idea to Traction is out today πŸ”₯

It's the book I wish I'd had before I wasted months building things nobody wanted. Everything from finding an idea worth pursuing to landing your first paying customers, rewritten for a world where AI can build your product in a weekend.

AI can build your product. It can't tell you if anyone will pay for it.

Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered. It hit #1 New Release before it was even out. πŸ™

It's available in hardcover, Kindle, and on Audible, narrated by me. If you've heard the podcast, you know exactly what you're in for. My same dulcet tones and a lack of interruptions from Einar. πŸŽ™οΈ

πŸ”₯ Last call: the pre-order bonuses are still open until midnight Eastern tonight. Buy the hardcover today and you get:

βœ… The ebook or audiobook free
βœ… Four tools from the book to find and validate your next idea

In this episode of @startupspod I talk about how AI has changed the early-stage startup landscape.

And I love the quote from @earthlingworks I reference in this video about how you can build without talking to any potential customers and you will build the worst possible version of your product.
You can build a product in a day now.
That doesn’t mean anyone wants it.

This week, @RobWalling talks about his new book, Idea to Traction, and why every repeat founder he knows still talks to customers before writing a line of code.
