The story of a company going from Debt to 7 Figures in ARR — Fully bootstrapped.

Now on its way to €1m in MRR over the next 12–24 months! 🚀

For the Pangea.ai team, it started back in 2016 with Digital Knights: a manually driven agency helping startups & scale-ups connect with pre-vetted tech development agencies.

In 2021, they decided to launch its next version: a scalable platform called Pangea.ai and turned a service business into a product-first company.

Year 1 (2016): €30k
Year 5 (2021): 7 figures in ARR
Year 6 (2022): Halfway to 8 figures in ARR

while generating over €250M in total deal value (GMV) for their developers´ community since launch.

Did I mention that they never raised money from investors? 🙅‍♀️💸

It has not been an easy journey, but they say it has been rewarding 😎

Watch the interview and learn from them.

NOTE: I have A LOT of respect for Keilian, co-founder at Pangea.ai.
