How a Solo Founder Built a SaaS While Serving Active Duty Military

from The Tech Founder Podcast with Fexingo: First-Time Software Entrepreneurs and Their Journeys · host Fexingo

Episode 54 of The Tech Founder Podcast with Fexingo features Captain Elena Vasquez, an active-duty U.S. Army officer who bootstrapped a logistics SaaS for military base supply chains. While deployed in South Korea, she coded the MVP in 4-hour sleep windows and onboarded her first customer—the Fort Hood supply depot—before incorporating. Now at $18k MRR with zero outside funding, Elena built her company without quitting her day job because she can't quit her day job. Lucas and Luna break down how she navigated ITAR compliance, obtained a security-cleared co-founder, and turned a paper-based procurement problem into a software solution—all while wearing a uniform. #TechFounderPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SaaS #Bootstrapping #SoloFounder #MilitaryEntrepreneur #LogisticsTech #ITAR #Compliance #ActiveDuty #SupplyChain #VeteranFounder #NoCodeMVP #CodingWhileDeployed #FortHood #MRR #ZeroFunding Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
