# Bootstrapped Makers

> A community for bootstrapped SaaS makers whose product is live and nobody has paid yet. Goal: $0 to $1k MRR in 30 days. Run by Panche Isajeski, who built and exited Kromatika (a trading platform, $2M in grants, no investors, exited 2023) and founded AgentaOS (selling by card and subscription from any country, no company required), which went from €0 to €6,800 MRR between August and September 2026. The community is global and in English. It opens 29 September 2026. Founding members get the first month free, then €19 a month or €190 a year, cancel in one click.
