Indie startups and the shit I learn in therapy

My first business, Krit, was a software agency that I grew from 0 to $1million+ in revenue. More importantly, we created a culture that I was incredibly proud of and a place where our team loved to work. I sold the business in 2022, but now I’m sharing our playbook with the world.

If you run a service business, are working on designing SOPs for your own company, or just want a peak behind the curtains of what it takes to run a bootstrapped, 7-figure business you should check out this playbook.

These are all of the processes we used to run our agency, including:

  • Content marketing
  • Sales
  • Account management
  • Project management
  • Discovery sessions
  • Engineering standards
  • Design workflow
  • Hiring
  • Employee onboarding
  • HR policies

Plus our company values, mission and vision, positioning, and internal goals and the time we were acquired.
