ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm back.
Last July I founded a new startup. Today I'm sharing it with the world.
It's called Hampton: a highly vetted membership community for entrepreneurs, founders and CEOs.
Why launch a community? I'll explain + why it'll be huge biz.

But the numbers behind her success aren't even the interesting part...
The interesting part is she's building a product the world genuinely needs.

Many with great app ideas worry about raising investment or spending a ton to get started, preventing them from pursuing their dream altogether.
I'm happy bootstrapping is increasingly seen as a viable option, even for non-technical founders.
