During some evenings I like to spend a little time on the IndieHackers.com website. I explore the companies there, see how much revenue they are generating and what they are building. One such company, CloudCampaign.io, stood out because it had just cracked the $1 million ARR (annual run rate). I read through the updates that Ryan Born, Cloud Campaign's founder had written over the past few years and noticed he had an advisor, Noah Kagan, who I am friends with. I asked Noah to intro us so I could invite Ryan on to my podcast to hear his story. I'm excited to share that interview with you today. From Startup Intern, To Founder, To Product Pivot The first half of this podcast is a fun trip through Ryan's past as we learn how he became an intern for a tech startup, which turned into a full-time job after he graduated. During this time Ryan dived into some side hustles, one of which became his main business after he lost his job when his employer's company was acquired. That first idea sounded pretty cool — a way to send automatic emails to promote your product based on triggers like what the weather is like today. Ryan spent several months putting in 16 hour days coding up the MVP version of his software, did some early promotions on sites like ProductHunt.com and found himself with several hundred test users. Unfortunately, when it came time to make some money, once Ryan switched on the premium version of his software, only one person signed up at $5 a month. Ryan was devastated. This section of the podcast is especially worth listening to because Ryan explains how he pivoted his idea. While trying to drum up business with enterprise customers for his email SAAS business, he was connected to social media agencies, which opened up a window to a new idea — the idea that today his business is based on. I'll leave you to listen to that story in the podcast to learn more. How To Scale To $1 MillionI asked Ryan to break down how he went from pivoting his idea to scale it to $1 million in annual run rate, the amount his company was making at the time this podcast was recorded. I was surprised to learn that even after the pivot, Ryan and his new co-founder almost gave up on the idea as they were struggling to get to $10,000 a month. Then thanks to a few new marketing experiments, things started to take off, and are still working today. I feel like Cloud Campaign is still very much in an early phase, despite the fact that Ryan has gone on to do two funding rounds and has scaled his team to 10. The entire story thus far is shared in this podcast, which I know you will enjoy. Talk to you soon, Yaro
In this episode, Don interviews Ryan Born! He is the Founder and CEO of HAAWK, Inc., managing music rights on Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Today, I'm talking with , the Co-Founder and CEO at , a SaaS startup that helps marketing agencies scale. I first heard Ryan on where he shared that his company was at $25k MRR and growing at more than 30% month-over-month. That was a bit more than 6 months before the time of our chat here today and I wanted to have Ryan on to see what's happened since. In our chat, Ryan shares where this growth came from, how they're maintaining it, and how his own role has evolved along the way. While Cloud Campaign's recent growth has been amazing, this wasn't an overnight success as it took a year of iteration before finding that initial traction. Wherever you are in your journey, I'm sure you'll take something valuable out of this interview.

When Ryan Born (@_RyanBorn) first emailed me about becoming one of Cloud Campaign's early customers, I replied with a long list of reasons why I wasn't going to use it. Two years later, he's generating over $25,000/month in revenue and growing at 32% month-over-month! In this episode, Ryan shares how he found his way to product-market fit by interviewing hundreds of people to find out who is and who isn't his ideal customer. He also discusses the advantages of picking a niche, the ins and outs of running Facebook ads profitably, and how dipping his toe in the water of numerous marketing channels helped him discover which one was worth diving into more deeply.Transcript, speaker information, and more: https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/132-ryan-born-of-cloud-campaign

In eight years Ryan Born built Audio Micro, which began operations in his spare bedroom, into an Inc. 500 company. Born went on to sell his business for more than $20 million in 2014 – a deal that only happened because he had the foresight to put an expiry date on the "no shop” clause on his Letter of Intent.
Ryan Born is the Founder and former CEO of AudioMicro, which operates a network of digital content licensing marketplaces, including YouTube rights management service AdRev. AudioMicro has been repeatedly named to the Inc. 500’s list of the fastest growing American media companies and was acquired by Zealot Networks in December 2014 for more than $20M. Ryan is also a talented painter, sculptor, and photographer and an active angel investor. In this episode, Ryan shares his experience creating and managing a scrappy startup, from funding and perpetual hustle to eventual exit. Ryan recounts a pivotal meeting with YouTube where he had the idea for the AdRev content protection and monetization business, which became the company’s breakout success.
