216: Jack Ellis — Taking on Google as a Bootstrapper

from The Bootstrapped Founder Hosted by Arvid Kahl

Today, I’m talking to Jack Ellis, the co-founder of Fathom Analytics, a privacy-conscious web analytics business that I personally use for all my web properties. The company that Jack co-founded with Paul Jarvis competes directly with Google on their linchpin advertising product. That’s a pretty high order. We chat about Jack's role in a growing successful software business and just how much he hesitates to go from coder to manager. We dive into choosing reliable dependencies to power an always-on SaaS business and how to deal with migrating customers from Google to Fathom. Here’s a deep dive into a successful technical SaaS business. Here’s Jack Ellis.
