I took my first salary as a founder 🥹

On Friday I took my first salary as a founder. 🥹
Paid by revenue. Not investment.

My first one ever. So proud.

Most startups die before they make $1.
We’ve been making revenue for 8 months.
Even after pivoting from @Dolphin AI.

I don’t take this lightly.
But it isn’t about money. It’s about the milestone.

The fact that something didn’t exist… and now it does.

Something people want.
Are happy to pay for.
And happy to be part of.

@Pretty Prompt keeps surprising me week after week.

And it all started here on PH 💪.

If I could talk to my 2023 self, I’d say: "Just keep pushing".
Doesn’t matter if you don’t come from a CS degree, or didn’t go to an Ivy League.

What matters is your ability to adapt, and move fast.

This is proof. And I’m super proud.
I took my wife out for dinner.

If I was motivated before…
Wait for what we’ll do next with Charlie, my co-founder!

Here’s to the next Pretty milestone.
And building things people want. 💪
