Vinny Breslin, the co-founder of Uplisting, recounts the gripping tale of how a bootstrapped idea soared to an annual recurring revenue of $3 Million and processed an astonishing $400 million for clients. 

Vinny built UpListing before selling in late 2023 to Airdna for an undisclosed amount. 

His success is a testament to innovation and grit, revealing the transformative power of remote collaboration. The founders didn't meet in person for 2 years! 

This story isn't just about celebrating milestones; it's a deep-dive into the perseverance and tech-savvy required to refine an industry.

We hear how Vinny hunted in Facebook groups for his first customers and kept a ruthlessly simple metric to focus the company on growth.

Vinny's personal account of the transition from founder to post-sale life is rich with raw emotion and candid revelations about the entrepreneurial grind. We explore the evolving definition of success, appreciating the less-trodden paths that stray from VC funding and flashy headlines.
