#9 How Zigpoll Scaled Solo to $68K MRR

Every indie founder dreams of freedom: building a business on your own terms, answering to no one.

But what happens when your success starts to depend on others?

In this episode of Indie Board Session, Pascal welcomes Jason Zigelbaum, founder of Zigpoll, a post-purchase survey tool trusted by thousands of Shopify stores, alongside co-host Elston Barreto of Tiiny Host.

Jason shares how he bootstrapped Zigpoll to $68K MRR solo, why delegation is harder than coding, and how he’s learning to grow without giving up his independence.

In this episode, we dive into:

✅ When (and how) to bring in help after scaling solo

✅ How to manage platform dependency when 90% of revenue comes from Shopify

✅ How to use AI tools productively without compromising quality or speed

Whether you’re scaling solo or hiring your first colleague, this conversation is a masterclass on building systems that grow without losing the indie spirit.
