It's this week's episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I am your host, Rob Walling. Today, I revisit

the six stages of SaaS growth. These are the stages that I talked through with Jordan Gahl,

about 10 episodes ago. It was 499 and 499 and a half where I compared the stages of drip

with his stages of cart hook. And today I bring a third founder on. His name is Anthony Eden. He runs

D.N. Simple. D.N. Simple is a self-funded startup 10 years in. He has a team size of 19 people.

They're fully remote and it's a domain management and they are a DNS provider as well. So they

compete with GoDaddy, name cheap, etc. I've spoken with Anthony before. He's been to at least a couple

microcomf Europe's. He was on MicroConf on air just a couple weeks ago, if you want to hear more

from him. And he told a really good founder origin story on Zen Founder. You can Google that,

or we'll actually link it up in the show notes, but a couple hundred episodes ago,

as a few years back, he had a really bad co-founder breakup with his

brother. And that's a pretty heart-wrenching story that he goes through. But before we dive in

to our conversation, I want to let you know about microcomf remote. This is something that we

planned more than a year ago before all the COVID stuff happened. We were going to do seven in-person

events and one virtual event called MicroConf Remote.

And we announced this, I believe it was November, December of 2019. And here it is. It's time to get

that going. So for now, mark your calendar for September 1st from 11 a.m. Eastern time to 4 p.m.

Eastern. Obviously, if you can't make the entire time, you can drop in and drop out, but you can head

to microcomfremote.com to reserve your spot and get a ticket, find out a little more about some of the

kooky, wild, and frankly, pretty novel, innovative stuff that we're working on for this. This is

not going to be your typical virtual summit. We've all been to too many of them in the past six

months,
