Hey there, 👋 I'm David Abrams, a 12+ year SaaS startup veteran with my most recent bootstrapped business being acquired in early 2021. As a founder myself, I've been in your shoes, facing the whirlwind of challenges that come with a bootstrapped businesses.

“David was the sole non-technical advisor for GrowthBar. He was instrumental in our growth (more than 2x in a single year of his tenure) and in our sale to private equity firm, XO Capital.
David did everything from helping us refine the product vision, getting me organized as a CEO, to introducing us to potential acquirers when we ultimately decided to sell. We were in an extremely fast-moving space and I don't think we would have had the outcome we did without his foresight, wisdom, and experience. 10/10 advisor.”
“Building a software company is incredibly challenging. One wrong move, one wrong hire, one wrong investment in the early days can bring a software company to its knees.
Without David’s help as a co-founder, I’m not sure Demio would still be around today.
The processes, systems, and hires that he put in place were the difference between closing the doors and thriving as a company. Stuff just worked. We had smart people following powerful, detail-oriented processes that produce great results. We have a team that can act creatively in their space, but yet still accomplished the tasks that we needed done on a tight deadline. It was the ultimate balance of freedom and practicality.
The reality is, you can’t scale a business without the right foundation; as far as I’m concerned, the processes, systems, and people are the DNA of your company, and David is the guy that can put those pieces in place.”
“Without David Abrams, my 8-figure SaaS would never have even gotten out the gate.
Before him we were struggling to make progress, paying for bad staff and after many months of work had VERY little to show for it. I brought David in and almost instantly we cleared out all the mess and were making rapid progress. We then launched on schedule a few months later.
Case in point: if you are making software and you do not hire David to consult and guide you YOU WILL lose tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in dev time and be moving at at least half the speed you could be. Your software might not even make it at all. The ROI and benefit of what he is offering is 1000x the cost of admission.
If you have a software idea but are not experienced in running dev teams you are a straight-up F@#KING fool if you don’t pick up David to help with your project.”
