S2 E1: Bootstrapping a Global Creator Community & Indie Startup World with Courtland Allen of Indie Hackers

Courtland Allen grew up totally opposite of his twin brother, Channing, but influenced by him nevertheless. His family was rooted in entrepreneurship, and as such, Courtland was heavily inspired to build and run his own thing. After going through Y Combinator and trying out different startups, he landed on the idea for Indie Hackers – and it checked all the boxes for what he wanted to work on. He spent three weeks, and built a community for creators who want to find freedom in making a living for themselves online.Today’s sponsors:Podcorn (https://podcorn.com/podcasters)Linkshttps://indiehackers.comhttps://twitter.com/csallenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/courtlandallen/ https://render.comhttps://nomadlist.comhttps://firebase.comLeave us a review on Apple Podcasts!Amazing tools we use:If you want the best publishing platform for your podcast, with amazing support & people – use Transistor.fm.Want to record your remote interviews with class?
