Indie Hackers is indie again!

by Courtland Allen

Exactly six years ago (to the day!), Stripe acquired Indie Hackers to help us grow and inspire millions of people building online businesses.

Today, I'm happy to announce that @channingallen and I are indie hackers again!

Specifically, this means we're back to running Indie Hackers as a standalone business, owned by the founders. Although we're no longer part of Stripe, Stripe continues to be supportive of IH as an investor to help us get going.

This has been about four months in the making. Branching out on our own is something we mutually decided on with Stripe, and we're excited about it!

It goes without saying that I'm incredibly grateful for Stripe's belief and support of Indie Hackers over the years. It still blows my mind that @patrickc reached out and took a chance on us when we were just a tiny bootstrapped company ourselves, that we were able to run freely and autonomously despite being part of a much bigger company, and that we now have the chance to own Indie Hackers again. Stripe couldn't have handled things any better, and I want to personally thank @patrickc and everyone else at Stripe for their support through the years.

So what now?

Well, if we want to survive and thrive, we're going to have to generate revenue just like any other business! I'm an entrepreneur at heart and always have been. In fact, working at Stripe was my first and only salaried job.

Right now we're sitting at exactly $0 in MRR, so the journey is just now (re)starting.

I'm fired up!!! 🔥🔥🔥
