Bootstrapping 26 startups from $0 to $$$ without VC — CryptoJobsList Founder Story

​Hello NS,

​I’m Raman (@ksaitor) and over the past 10 years i've launched over 27 various startup projects both investor backed and bootstrapped. Most notably I launched CryptoJobsList.com back in 2017 and today it's one of the largest job boards in crypto, helping companies like Coinbase, Chainlink, Gnosis and over 3000 others hire top web3 talent.

​In this talk i'll share what I learned about launching startups, validating or killing them (fast), monetization, distribution. and growth.

​Who this is for:

• ​First-time founders & small teams

• ​“Vibe coders” shipping fast

• ​Anyone who wants to build a product and make money from it

​Who this is not for:

• ​All talk, little action

• ​Waiting around for someone to fund you

• ​College dropouts who think they’re the next Zuck and waiting for Thiel to wire you $500k for having 0 users (aka delulu)

​First 30 minutes:

• ​The 4 years I burned on a failed VC-backed startup — and what it taught me

• ​How to choose startup ideas worth your time

• ​Distribution, validation & early growth tactics

• ​Monetization

• ​Common mistakes I still see founders make

• ​Lean tech stack and infra (if we'll have time)

​Next 30 min — Q&A + live startup clinic.

​Hope this will be useful! 🚀

​p.s. Big thanks to Balaji & team for having me here!
