230: Moritz Dausinger — Serial Indie Entrepreneurship
from The Bootstrapped Founder Hosted by Arvid Kahl
Today, I’m talking to Moritz Dausinger, a serial indie hacker with several exits under his belt. Moritz most recently pivoted his software business Refiner after 18 months of trying to figure out a way forward. Well, now he’s found it. We will chat about figuring out how to structure sales, how and who to hire, and if he wants to sell this business again, for a third time.
