Bootstrapped to $100M+ in revenue. It's time to share how.

Insights & Essays

Thoughts on building companies, deploying AI, and the psychology of being a founder.

I've spent 25+ years building companies — starting with co-founding Finder, which I bootstrapped from zero to $100M+ in annual revenue and a $680M valuation before stepping back as CEO. Along the way I made a lot of mistakes, tested every growth lever that existed, and eventually built the systems that worked. This is where I write about those systems.

My writing sits at the intersection of growth strategy, AI and automation, and founder performance. I write about what it actually takes to grow past $1M, $10M, and beyond — not the surface-level advice you read everywhere, but the specific decisions, frameworks, and mental models that separate founders who scale from those who stall.

I also write candidly about my own life — using AI to transform my health, what I learned stepping back from a company I spent 17 years building, and why I think most advice about CEO routines is wrong. New essays go out weekly via my newsletter at newsletter.jeremycabral.com.
