Everything I Learned Scaling My Business to 7-Figures Without Raising Venture Capital
I built Fibe to millions of dollars in profit without raising a dollar of venture capital, without a co-founder, and without a board. I still own the whole thing.

Since then I've started The Shortlist, which has just begun to hit profitability, and cofounded Outliers Summit, which runs independently as a profitable events and media company that will cross seven figures soon. We run over a hundred events a year with a tiny team.

On September 3 I'm walking through exactly how, in one session.

What you'll leave with:

How to pick the game you're playing before you start, so the advice you take actually applies to the business you're building

Why one marketing channel is enough to reach a million dollars in revenue, and how to find yours

How to build distribution before you have a product. I spent years building an audience before I had a business idea, and it is the single biggest reason bootstrapping worked

How to find customers who will write a $50,000 check without blinking instead of ones who argue over $20 a month

On September 3 I'm walking through exactly how, in one session, with nothing held back.

Ten lessons. This is part one.

What you'll le

- How to pick the game you're playing before you start, so the advice you take actually applies to the business you're buildin - Why one marketing channel is enough to reach a million dollars in revenue, and how to find yours - How to builhave a product.I spent years building an audience before I had a business idea, and it is the single biggest reason bootstrapping worked - How to find customers who will write a $50,000 check without blinking instead of ones who argue over $20 a month - What to hird how to staylean long enough to stay profitable - The mistakes that cost me the most, so they cost you nothing

Then live Q&A for the rest of the session. Come with the specific question about your business, not the general one. That is where these earn their keep.

Who this is for: anyone building something they would rather own outright than raise against. If you're going after a winner-take-all market and need capital to reach escape velocity, raising is the right call and this isn't for you.at. Mine wasn't.
