What SaaS Experts Have to Say About Rob Walling.

"Rob knows software, and he knows startups. I've been learning from him since the early years of HubSpot. You should too."

Dharmesh Shah
Co-founder/CTO, HubSpot
"Fortunately for you, Rob Walling has been one of the most active members of this [startup community] for a few decades, having built several successful companies and, through investment, has seen the ups and downs of more than one hundred."

Jason Cohen
Founder, WP Engine
"Rob is a startup Grand Master who's inspired me and countless others. A chance to learn from Rob's condensed knowledge is a drop-everything-and-do-this-instead moment."

Courtland Allen
Founder, Indie Hackers
"Rob has more years in the bootstrapped trenches than anyone, and that's why he's my go-to source for how to build a lucrative bootstrapped business. After learning from his teachings and community, I exited my bootstrapped SaaS for 7 figures!"

Laura Roeder
Founder, Paperbell
"Rob's one of the few minds who sits at the center of the SaaS ecosystem with the knowledge of not only how to build SaaS products properly but also how to scale them."

Patrick Campbell
Co-founder, Profitwell
"Most of the advice that's out there about growing a SaaS past the initial phases is pretty bad. Not a lot of people have actually run a bootstrapped SaaS business for a long time. Rob Walling is the exception. He's been in the trenches for over a decade, and has been mentoring the indie software community the whole time."

Peldi Guilizzoni
Founder and CEO, Balsamiq
