How Bootstrapped Founders Use a Public Roadmap

from The Bootstrapped Tech Founder with Fexingo: Profitable Software Companies Without VC Hosted by Fexingo

In episode 153 of The Bootstrapped Tech Founder, Lucas and Luna explore how bootstrapped software companies use a public roadmap to build trust, filter feature requests, and align customers with their vision. They break down the concrete example of a solo developer who publishes a quarterly roadmap and saw a 40 percent drop in feature-request emails, then walk through how to structure a roadmap that communicates priorities without overpromising. They discuss the difference between a roadmap and a changelog, the risks of committing to dates, and how to handle the inevitable 'when is this shipping?' question. If you run a small software company and you've been thinking about opening up your planning, this episode gives you a practical framework to do it without creating a monster. No VC, no growth hacks, just sustainable, profitable software built by founders who care about their customers. #Bootstrapped #IndieHackers #PublicRoadmap #ProductManagement #SaaS #SoloDeveloper #CustomerSuccess #FeatureRequests #Transparency #Roadmap #SoftwareBusiness #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Founder #CustomerTrust #ProductStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
