#6: 25-yr-old makes $6M/yr with bootstrapped SaaS tool

In Ep. 6, Mike and Simmy dive into the story of Stephen Hakami, a 25-year-old college dropout who built Wiza: a SaaS tool that enriches Linkedin prospect lists with high-quality contact info so they can be targeted off-platform. He started the company only 3 years ago and today it's generating over $6M/yr in revenue! Then the guys put on their lab coats for a discussion about Kathryn Cross, the 24-year-old founder of Anja Health. Kathryn has created a DTC startup in the nascent industry of stem cell banking, raising millions from investors like Balaji and Alexis Ohanian. Anja helps new parents save the placenta and umbilical cord at birth and store it for decades so the valuable, unique-to-you stem cells it contains could be used at some point in the future to treat a life-threatening disease for you or a loved one.
