The Bootstrapper's Path to $10M ARR – Andrew Maguire, Volo Ventures
David BarnardWhat's the most impactful experiment or change you've seen this year? Not operating apps yourself, maybe in a portfolio company or across the industry, what's the most impactful thing you've seen this year?
Andrew MaguireOkay, I'll give two real quick. I will give one for myself, which is that I started building my own CRMs and productivity tools, but the impactful part is teaching them to learn and improve. That's what I use Zoe Computer for basically. I have a CRM, I have a to - do list, it's all connected to my email. I'm not an engineer, so I'm not going to blow myself up like I would using OpenClaw, but then I actually have it evaluate its own performance and get better on crafting priority to - dos for me. And that has been really, really cool. And I'm just excited to see what happens in software in general with those sorts of techniques. And then I have a portfolio company that built their own internal analytics tool that's just ridiculously powerful and anybody can use with natural language. And so that's one thing on the portfolio side where I just see the democratization of analytical capabilities within companies super, super powerful and I think will lead to more velocity and better decisions.
Andrew MaguireSo those are two.
