What's up, everybody? This is Cortland from NDHackers.com, and you're listening to the

IndieHackers podcast. On this show, I talked to the founders of profitable internet businesses,

and I try to get a sense of what it's like to be in their shoes. How do they get to where they are today?

How do they make decisions, both of their companies and in their personal lives, and what exactly makes their businesses tick? And the goal here, as always, is so that the rest of us can learn from their examples and go on to build our own successful internet businesses. Today, I'm talking to Arvid Call. Arvid, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me.

You and your girlfriend, Danielle, are the founders of a company called Feedback Panda,

and you recently posted a pretty exciting milestone about it on Indie Hackers.

Well, you have one of those businesses that I think would be tough to sell. I mean, it's just two of you, you and Danielle,

you bootstrapped the company, so you both owned together 100% of the company. You grew super

rapidly to $55,000 a month in revenue in just two years. How do you decide to sell a company like

that? Actually, it took us by surprise. We really never wanted to sell the company, but we build it

with it being sellable in mind. I've been reading a lot prior to building this particular

company, because there was a time when I was not a founder, when I was actually employed at a company

in Hamburg in Germany while living in Berlin, which is like two and a half hours away,

by train. So I was commuting three days a week from Berlin to Hamburg and back, which is like

five hours a day and 15 hours a week that you sit in this metal box, right? And you just zoom

through to Germany and if

there's one thing about Germany is that the connectivity between cities is really bad so
