Sharath Kuruganty has worked with some iconic community led companies like Product Hunt, OnDeck and currently Threado, where he is the Head of Community.

A fun fact - Threado’s co-founder, Pramod Rao was guest no. 2 on this show. So this conversation has been a long time coming. What made it happen this time is Sharath's recent win where he sold his side project Shoutout to a UK based product studio. He started building this project about two years ago and reached $30k ARR with it.

In this episode:

• Creating Shoutout
• How to approach selling when you are not a salesperson
• Building in public aka Power of the internet
• Moving to the US
• Working with Naval Ravikant
• How to pay bills while working on side projects
• Rapid fire round
