I think, as bootstrappers, we need to abandon the "long slow SaaS ramp of death" trope.
1. That talk is nearly 20 years old (lots has changed)
2. I'm not sure it ever really applied to most successful bootstrapped businesses?
3. For many SaaS I know, the ramp was pretty fast.

Right, that’s my point. You didn’t know while you were in the middle of it. It didn’t feel that way to you at the time. On the podcast were even taking about alternative sources of revenue, etc People saying SaaS isn’t as slow as people say, would just have added more doubt.

That still seems a lot different than the way the “slow ramp” has been adopted. If “slow ramp” for CC meant 3-6 years + $21 million in capital, I’m not sure how instructive it is as a model for bootstrappers. (Most bootstrappers don’t have 3-6 years, or that kind of capital)

In reality we went from “launch to $20k MRR” in about a year.
When you have a family + mortgage anything that takes longer than a month feels slow.
If it took 3+ years we’d be dead.
