John Rush,
CEO, UnicornPlatform.com
Built & sold my first startup in 2009.
Over the next 13 years, I invested all that money into startups.
Lost money on all 30 founder/invested ventures.
Still kept going.
Sold my house to keep going.
In 2023, I pivoted into bootstrapping.
Spent more of my savings to build several micro SaaS products and even acquired one.
Then I hired an expensive marketing team — burned a mountain of cash with zero results.
So I fired everyone and went solo.
In 2024, most of the bets finally paid off.
The total crossed $2M.
But here’s the truth —
if things hadn’t gone right that year,
I’d be broke, homeless, and completely lost.
I don’t know if this will make you want to start a business…
or quit and go back to a regular job.
But I’ve done my job here.
I shared the raw truth.
