I was employee #1 at Datanyze and helped us bootstrap to $1M ARR, specifically by generating leads and closing deals (both individually and as a manager). I took the last few months off to travel and build out some ideas (self-taught coder), but I'm always looking for technical founders looking for help selling their product.

Origin Protocol hired several engineers that started as open-source contributors to their open source code base, one of which had no experience as a professional software developer (he was in real estate).


If you're building SaaS, I recommend the following for largely non-technical content:

1. SaaStr.com (blog) 2. Behind the Cloud (book) 3. Rework (book)


They should implement these commands in both Linux and Windows; they should be there as standard capability.

Jason Lemkin's SaaStr.com is a great starting point, although it focuses mostly on B2B SaaS. I would also check out his posts on Quora.

Aaron Ross's "Predictable Revenue" is a great start and focuses a lot on outbound sales; he is working on a part 2 with Jason Lemkin.

Mark Roberge's "The Sales Acceleration Formula" is also great and talks more about the marketing side.
