How to Bootstrap a Software Company and Take on the Giants with David Siteman Garland: An EOFire Classic from 2022

Who's Reddit's Rock today, Fire Nation? JLD here and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, the only daily show interviewing the world's top entrepreneurs seven days a week. Today we're pulling a classic episode from the archives and we'll be breaking down how to bootstrap a software company and take on the giants. To drop these value bombs, I brought David Seitman-Garland into EOFire Studios. He is a co-founder of Nerdly.

And besides bootstrapping a company that sold over $10 million in online courses, which was Rise to the Top, he is known as an expert in new media, online monetization, and more. In today Foundation, we'll talk about how to focus on one strategy, how to be great in creating products and marketing, and how you can scale your software business by having a niche and being lean, mean, and fast instead of being broad and expensive and oh so much more. And a big thank you for sponsoring today's episode goes to David and our sponsors.
