Julien Nahum, the founder of NotionForms, a Notion form builder, has been bootstrapping his business on his own for the past two years.
Julien has already built and sold a few online businesses in the past few years. None of them brought him large sums of money, but they did give him a taste for entrepreneurship.
He recently passed a significant milestone: 1.000 customers for NotionForms. It took 1 year, 9 months, and nearly 45,000 users to get there! Julien now runs a startup with a $18k+ MRR. There is something to be learned from him.
