28-year-old French founder David Zitoun bootstrapped Submagic to $8 million ARR in just 3 years with only 13 employees, generating $615,000 revenue per employee without raising a single dollar of VC funding.

He reveals how he hit $1 million ARR in exactly 90 days using the most generous affiliate program in SaaS - paying 30% lifetime commissions to 10,000+ affiliates who now drive $1.6 million of his annual revenue while processing 5-10,000 new signups daily.

David breaks down his contrarian playbook including why 70% of his team has no college degrees, how he converts 2,500 new customers monthly despite 15% churn, and the exact growth tactics that crushed the US market from France.
