DO NOT raise capital! BOOTSTRAP your startup and become a MILLIONAIRE in <2 YEARS! 30 years of experience: Serial entrepreneur (sold multiple BOOTSTRAPPED startups) with DEEP expertise in starting, growing, scaling, and selling companies. Raising capital can actually decrease your odds of success because if you raise too much capital you can actually price yourself out of the window of exit opportunity. There is increasing misalignment between venture capital and founders. I am the living proof that you DO NOT need vc capital to take your startup to a successful exit. What you really need to ask yourself is: Am I working on the right idea? Let's talk!

I've been creating apps for Shopify since 2011. Plug in SEO was one of the first SEO apps on the app store, and Plug in Speed the first combined code and image optimization app. Through constant optimization and product development they have consistently performed strongly in a very(!) flooded market. I exited these apps in 2020 and now focus on helping app developers from what I've learnt.

THE CHARITY WOW ACADEMY RECEIVES 100% OF THE REVENUE FROM CONSULTING! In 2017, I started three Amazon US private label e-commerce brands with my business partner and only five remote employees. In just three years, we grew these brands to over $10 million each in annual revenue. Although the products of these three brands are completely unrelated, we were able to replicate our success on Amazon.com using a systemized process that can be applied to any product category. In October 2021, we sold two of the brands to an Amazon aggregator, allowing us to diversify our investment portfolio and focus our full attention on the remaining brand. As in all aspects of life, the Amazon private label model has patterns, rules, and strategies that, when followed diligently, produce results like ours. By building three 8-figure Amazon e-commerce brands in the last six years, we have consistently proven that our strategies work and can be replicated. Of course, hard work and commitment are essential, but I strongly believe that all healthy, long-term businesses with great growth potential require these two ingredients. The Amazon private label space is one of the best ways to invest your hard work and commitment if you are looking to build an online business with full location freedom and relatively low fixed costs. I am passionate about helping others grow their Amazon US private label brands, prevent them from following ineffective strategies, and take their products to the next level. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any assistance. I would love to help your ideas reach their potential in the Amazon E-commerce space!
