Founders are a unique breed.
Enduring the level of financial, emotional and psychological pressure it takes to build a company for a statistically tiny chance of success is a path built for the few.
Today we sit down with Collin Mitchell - 4x Founder and 3x Exit sales leader to learn about his new podcast - Founder-Led.
Founder-Led takes a deep dive into the journeys of founders who followed their passion and led their businesses from $0 - $1 Million and beyond by playing to their strengths and excelling in their chosen specialty.
In this episode, Collin speaks on his career as a salesperson that led him to start 4 companies that led to 3 exits - and his first company that he still owns to this day.
Collin's path to entrepreneurship stemmed from a childhood that was best defined by struggle. As a kid, Collin grew up on food stamps and government cheese, and while many end up staying true to their roots - Collin decided enough was enough and took a sales job early on that ultimately shaped him into an entrepreneur by giving him the most important skillset a founder can have - generating revenue.
His first business started in 2012 - Collin and his wife were young adults who really wanted to do their own thing and build their dream life. Their first business, Monster Technology, scaled from 0 - $5 million in ARR in 26 months. That business is still active to this day and provides a great life for those who came along for the ride.
A huge topic in 2024 is - should founders focus on acquiring investment or bootstrap their way to profitability? Collin thinks there's not a wrong answer either way, but he sees a ton of value in founders figuring out how to get to that first million by themselves, as it builds a ton of savviness on how to operate on a shoestring budget.
