From Zero to Runway: Launching a Startup Without VC Money

🎤 Event talk at createwith.com

I had the chance to speak at CreateWith, and it was such a fun experience. The room was packed, the energy was great, and I’m genuinely thankful to the team for the invite. Definitely one of the highlights of my year.

In this talk, I share the playbook I used to grow my startup, Blitzit, from a simple idea to nearly $500K in revenue in just 12 months—without raising any funding. I break down how I launched a high-converting lifetime deal for early adopters while growing recurring revenue in parallel.

The session covers:
– How I validated demand before writing a single line of code
– The pre-launch tactics that built hype and momentum
– How I used no-code web builder Framer to build landing pages that actually convert
– Staying lean, focused, and profitable from day one

If you're bootstrapping, skipping the VC chase, or just want to grow smarter—this one's for you.

🔑 Ideal for:
– First-time founders
– Indie hackers and bootstrappers
– Creators turning ideas into income
– Anyone building a startup without outside capital
