4 months ago → $10K
2 months ago → $20K
today → $30K
April is peak tax season—refund stress, filing panic, and a record wave of Americans Googling “how to leave the US”
demand has never been higher, and like patient surfers we’d been balanced on our boards, eyes on the horizon, ready to paddle the moment the swell arrived
to every customer who entrusts us with something as personal—and sensitive—as taxes: you’re the power behind this ride
→ this milestone also marks our new chapter
until now I ran every piece of marketing myself; from here on I’m delegating, bringing fresh hands onboard so SavvyNomad can scale faster and guide even more nomads to freedom
the next swell is already forming 🌊

we got our first 1-star review—and I’m proud of it
a customer was convinced we’d lost her Green Card
↳ understandably, she was stressed, disappointed, and quickly left us 1-star reviews everywhere (I would do the same)
turns out, the Green Card had just mistakenly landed in another office mailbox
after three intense days of constant communication and managing the issue as our top priority, we solved the mystery
seeing our efforts, the customer changed every one-star review into a glowing 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
proud because great support isn’t about never making mistakes—it’s about how you handle them

since I was a kid, I dreamed of visiting the Amazon Forest 🌿
recently, that dream came true
I spent three days deep in the jungle - watching wild animals, fishing for piranhas, tasting fruits I’ve never seen before, and waking up to the sound of the forest.
it was raw, beautiful, and completely unforgettable
and yes - I brought my camera with me

3 Days in the Wild Amazon Forest (4K)
For three days I left behind the modern world and stepped into the beating heart of the Amazon. I traveled by canoe, fished for piranhas, tasted wild fruits straight off the trees, and watched the jungle breathe at dawn and dusk. From misty mornings to wildlife…

$40k MRR with a twist of irony
ironically, we crossed this milestone while I was detained and deported from the U.S., the very country whose citizens our business helps to live better lives abroad
we achieved this thanks to record-breaking performance in April and May, driven by the high season, new product launches, and improved marketing efforts
next steps?
diversifying marketing channels, stabilizing and reducing churn, and preparing to launch an exciting new product expansion later this year

50% of our $1 million ARR for SavvyNomad.io 🎉 🎉 🎉
I still remember when I first began publicly sharing this journey, and we were celebrating single-digit percentage growth
↳ now, reaching half of our journey to $1 million ARR is incredibly exciting
our growth remains strong, consistently climbing 15–25% MoM, which is great for a fully bootstrapped business without external funding
in a world where everyone seems focused on a 996 grind in California, especially in the AI startup space
↳ I'm grateful to lead a different kind of entrepreneurial life
I'm happily maintaining my nomadic lifestyle - taking days off to hike, prioritizing daily morning workouts, and enjoying meaningful time with family and friends - all while surpassing our revenue targets ahead of schedule
what's next for achieving the remaining 50% of our ARR goal?
→ double down: reinforce what's working by scaling up our proven channels and operational support
→ diversify and experiment: expand into new marketing channels, particularly through video content and strategic media assets.
excited for what's ahead!

the bigger we get, the more often I’m asked when we’ll raise money
hopefully never
we’ve grown to $45K MRR by bootstrapping, and staying independent has been our best strategic decision so far
in the new video, I break down exactly why we’re saying “no” to VC money:
→ hidden costs of fundraising
→ infinite-game mindset of bootstrapping
→ how to decide what’s best for your startup: raise or bootstrap?
