How long does it take @stripe to address a business-critical issue? One of our clients has been unable to take orders for 7 days due to a Stripe Connect account disconnection. Repeated escalation requests and still no timeline. We need this resolved. @patrickc@StripeDev
Another epic episode of the SG podcast with @SingleFounder, where we discuss building SaaS companies, how to start from zero, and much more.
Give it a listen here:

The TinySeed Millionaire Rate is 43%.
Definition: Of @tinyseedfund companies no longer in operation (sold OR shut down), 43% of those founders are now millionaires.💰
This % will obviously change over time. It's still early, and the numbers are still small (~2% of companies have shut down. ~4% have sold).
But this is yet another reminder of how resilient and insanely valuable SaaS companies are.
Personally, I find this number incredible. Much higher than I would have expected, and it brings me nothing but joy knowing the lives that have been changed through entrepreneurship.

Dear @firstcitizens, when you took over after SVB imploded, you said no changes were forthcoming, but I see you tripled one of your fees. What's that about? Great way to rebuild trust. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm out.
Solo founder tip: When you run into a software architectural problem, if you explain the details to ChatGPT and ask it for suggestions on how to resolve it, the results can be reasonably helpful. Basically it's a great sounding board that you can "argue" with.
Congrats to @ClaireSuellen and @ggiiaa on hitting the Amazon Best Seller list for their "Forget the Funnel" book!

The kickstarter for my new book closes in 2 days. It’s just under $97k.
I’m trying to get to $100k.
If you haven’t backed it, I’d be grateful if you did. If you have, a RT would be amazing.

Airline marketing never ceases to amaze me at the sheer stupidity of it. Delta has a billboard in Boston that says “Now offering non-stop flights to Europe.”
I mean… I should hope they’re non-stop!
And just like that, the kickstarter for my new book is live. 🚀🚀
(If you do nothing else, check out the awesome video that Producer Ron spent hours hand-crafting)
I'm hoping to crush the funding goal today. Your support and RTs appreciated!
