Bootstrapping is easier with a profitable side hustle. We bought email app sendicate for $150,000 in 2014, and it’s generated back $2.4M. Having that income stream meant we were able to deploy our own money building Bluethumb and SmartrMail to traction before raising.

How COVID-19 pushed the digital transformation agenda ahead

COVID-19 has accelerated the growth of businesses like email marketing start-up Smartrmail by multiple years.

A childhood friend was a fantastic artist growing up, but didn't purse art after school. After twenty years she started studying art again, and started selling her art on @BluethumbArt . She has now sold 100 works on us, and this week sold a piece for $30,500. So happy for her.

Starting mentoring soon again for @startmate and I’ve been thinking about the most important founder traits I’ve seen that grow (or keep alive) startups. IMO #1 , #2 and #3 are: Persistence, curiosity and a chip on the shoulder. Next it’s access to capital, in various forms.

Our first @BluethumbArt exhibit in 2013. We thought setting up hills hoists and hanging art outside would look cool. It didn’t. We’re still still doing things that might turn out great, or terrible. It’s more fun (and occasionally when they work too).

Got vaxxed yesterday. I've felt an overwhelming relief, out of nowhere. Wasn't even aware I was anxious, as logically there's almost no chance I'd get covid in Melbourne at the moment. I feel so positive that we can return to a post-covid normal, and soon.
