Description
This week, Tibo Maker announced that he has hit $1M MRR. A few weeks ago, he came on the podcast to talk about how he got where he is today and what he's learned along the way—including years of struggle and setbacks.
Tibo built Tweet Hunter to $1M+ and sold to Lemlist, but the aftermath surprised him. Instead of the freedom he expected, he faced crushing pressure from an earn-out deal and post-exit depression. Now, he's pioneering a different path: building a portfolio of six SaaS products as a "SaaS maker," staying independent and chasing steady cash flow instead of lump-sum payouts.
In this episode, Tibo breaks down his co-maker model, explaining how he finds partners and what happens when it doesn't work out. He discusses the trap of building for ego and how to recognize true product-market fit. He also shares how AI tools like Cursor are reshaping his development process and why he's genuinely uncertain about the future of his products in an AI-saturated market.
A raw, honest conversation about scaling indie SaaS in 2026.
