Welcome back fellow investopreneurs!

A Year In Review

I can hardly believe it has been another year of writing this newsletter, and beyond thankful for all of our fellow investopreneurs who show up every single week to read what’s on our mind! 🥳 🎉 

Looking back 1 year ago, it was ~this time we made the decision to pivot into our new content cadence w/ (1) YouTubesday dropping every Tuesday and (1) long-form newsletter every Saturday.

At first, I didnt know how it was going to go…

Looking back on a year in review (beehiiv actually sent us a pretty cool slide deck with our stats) — it is crazy to see the numbers materialize.

Quick Stats:

• 99 issues so far… with today being 100 on the year! 🏆️ 

• A little over 2 MILLION views on our content 👀 

• With ~50,000 subscribers that means we averages just around a ~40% open rate throughout the year! 🤩 

• That means that 2 out of every 5 of you showed up for us in you inbox for each issue. Thank you! 📬️ 

• Even crazier to me… just over 12,000 of you read 90% or more of each newsletter sent (or 90 newsletters this year) 🧾 

Some fun things we accomplished together this past year:

• We ran 22 polls and collected over 10,000 responses

• We had 3,300 investopreneurs join our community launch waitlist

• We had close to 400 investopreneurs take the ProfitLed Pledge and complete our accelerator

• We host 18 live workshops

• We posted 46 long-form YouTube videos with close to 65,000 views

All of this helped us on our core mission of supporting profitled bootstrapped business owners build equity, grow wealth, and unlock more affordable & flexible founder friendly capital as your long-term partner.

Less than 50% of business owners survive their first 5 years in business and less than 10% make it to 10 years.

We want to change that.

In Reflection:

There are a few things Id like to do better next year.

• Host more events and bootcamps led by you as the subject matter experts. Creating more of a platform for members of our ecosystem to help one another build better together.

• Get better at creating higher quality content… As you know, content creation is new to me, and this year was all about consistency and just showing up - every. single. day. Next year, I would like to crack the code in regards to creating consistent + highly valuable and engaging content.

• Simplify how we get and deliver value to you — with an emphasis on making things fun, fast, (ideally free whenever possible) and automagical in this new age of AI.

What we are looking forward to together:

2025 is going to be HUGE.

For the past several months we have been piloting (with ~a hundred of you all) our new Bootstrapper AI platform.

We want to put everything you need to bootstrap a profitable business in one simple place.

• Instant capital based on what your business can afford to take

• Real time business valuations to know what your worth

• Live equity bench marking to track your progress

• AI insights into your business risk

• Supportive community

• Bootcamps

• Services…

• Like bookkeeping

• AI automation to automate profitflows

• Help building remote teams to outsource profitflows

• Leveraging community buying power to reduce your expenses

• and more…

You will feel empowered with a crystal clear pathway to actually add profitable revenue, decrease operational risk, build equity in your business and put more profit in your pocket as a sustainable business owner.

Our Goals For Next Year:

• Help 1,000+ business owners build $1B or more in equity & become your long-term capital partner of choice.

Help Us Make This Better For Everyone
