This Bootstrapped Life

In April 2024, after experiencing burnout and taking a months-long sabbatical, I started a bootstrapped company that exists as SkyPorch now.

It is both a consultancy and product studio, as we both

  • help companies build their products, and
  • incubate our own ideas that allow us to build with the latest and greatest

Starting a company is full of ups and downs, but navigating them is the journey and it's quite rewarding personally and professionally.

The goal of this series is to share that, week-in and week-out. It's basically a public weekly journal entry.
