Hi! I’m Arvid. I empower founders & creators who want to build calm & sustainable businesses in public. The Bootstrapped Founder is the home of my Twitter course Find your Following, the books Zero to Sold and The Embedded Entrepreneur, where I share how to build a business, an audience, and a path to financial independence. You will also find the Bootstrapper’s Bookshelf, the Bootstrapped Founder Podcast, the YouTube channel, and the Bootstrapped Founder Newsletter here. Here are my most recent blog posts: Bootstrapping The 1% Improvement Myth: Why Customer Conversations Beat Micro-Improvements Every Time Reading Time: 4 minutesLet’s add another one to the series of entrepreneurial advice that just really irritates me. Today, I’m going after “improve 1% every day” — you know, that meme or mantra about making tiny little improvements every day because they supposedly compound into something massive over time. This one is infuriating, and I’ll tell you why:… by Arvid Kahl January 23, 2026January 22, 2026 Bootstrapping Don’t Give Up… Your Assumptions Reading Time: 5 minutesLet’s dive into a piece of entrepreneurial advice that’s highly irritating and very dangerous. Today I want to talk about the one that I get so much: “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up. Force yourself, grind it out.” This advice is very dangerous because it builds on the founder’s capacity to struggle through challenges,… by Arvid Kahl January 16, 2026January 15, 2026 Bootstrapping Many Heads, Not Many Hats: The Founder’s Identity Crisis Reading Time: 8 minutesWe often joke in entrepreneurship about founders having to wear many hats. But I think that metaphor is wrong. It’s not about swapping hats. It’s about growing entirely new heads. Not just the cover of the head — the head itself. A new brain that thinks different, speaks different, prioritizes different. And somehow, these heads… by Arvid Kahl January 9, 2026January 8, 2026 Churn & Retention The Case Against Vendor Lock-In: Why Easy Exit Means Better Retention Reading Time: 7 minutesSometimes software founders are a weird bunch. They’ve built their businesses on open source software and the contributions of people who’ve done a lot of work for free. They’ve benefited at great length from infrastructure and tooling built on open standards that facilitate free exchange of data and ideas. Yet when it comes to their… by Arvid Kahl January 2, 2026December 26, 2025 Building in Public The Dead Internet Theory: Are We Building Machines That Only Talk to Other Machines? Reading Time: 5 minutesI saw something on LinkedIn the other day that stopped me mid-scroll. It was a post—clearly AI-generated, you could tell from the cadence, the slightly off phrasing, the generic inspirational tone—and underneath it were dozens of comments. Enthusiastic comments. Supportive comments. And every single one of them was also AI-generated. Bots responding to bots. A… by Arvid Kahl December 26, 2025December 26, 2025 Marketing Marketing for Founders Who Hate Marketing Reading Time: 7 minutesMany of the technical founders I know really don’t like marketing. And it’s not that they don’t understand it. They know how important it is to run an effective business. But they don’t really know how to do it right. They don’t know how to leverage their technical skills to make marketing easier. And they… by Arvid Kahl December 19, 2025December 17, 2025 Load more posts Something went wrong.
